Morphology

unaverage = average (transparent) = un + average

The adjective is formed by productive negation un- + average, so learners who know 'average' can infer 'not average'.

Etymology

Unaverage combines the prefix un- ('not') with average ('ordinary' or 'middle'), so it means 'not typical' and describes someone or something that clearly stands out.
