Morphology
unassimilated = assimilated (transparent) = un + assimilate + ed
Formed by negating the participial adjective 'assimilated' with 'un-', meaning 'not integrated or adapted'.
Etymology
Unassimilated comes from un- 'not' and assimilate 'make similar', like the word similar. So, when people or customs are unassimilated they do not become like the new group and do not fully fit in.
