How Audited
Surface Forms
Morphology
unaudited = audited (transparent) = un + audit + ed
Formed by adding negative prefix 'un-' to 'audited' (past participle/adjective), meaning 'not audited'—a straightforward negation.
Etymology
The word unaudited starts with un- meaning 'not' and the part audit comes from a Latin word that meant 'to hear', a root you can also see in audio. Long ago an auditor would 'hear' and check accounts, so unaudited means something has not been officially checked.
