Morphology
unappreciated = appreciated (transparent) = un + appreciate + ed
Formed by negating the participial/adjectival 'appreciated' with productive 'un-', giving the straightforward meaning 'not appreciated'.
Etymology
Unappreciated breaks into un- 'not' and appreciate. Appreciate comes from an old word for 'price' or 'value', the same root that gave us the everyday word price, so unappreciated literally means 'not valued' and is used for someone or something that does not get thanks or praise.
