Morphology

unassessed = assessed (transparent) = un + assess + ed

A standard negative prefix 'un-' attached to the past-participle adjective 'assessed', so the meaning is directly derivable.

Etymology

Unassessed combines un- 'not' and assess 'to judge or give a value', the same root you see in assessment, so it describes something that has not been checked, judged, or given a value.
