Morphology

unaverage = average (transparent) = un + average

This is prefixal reversal (un- + verb 'average' meaning 'undo the averaging'), which follows a regular productive pattern.

Etymology

Unaverage uses un- like in undo ('reverse') and average ('a combined number'), so to unaverage numbers or data is to reverse the averaging and try to separate the original values.
