How Breached
Surface Forms
Morphology
unbreached = breached (transparent) = un + breach + ed
Formed by prefixing 'un-' to 'breached' (breach + -ed); meaning is directly 'not having been breached'.
Etymology
The word unbreached is made from un- meaning 'not' and breach meaning 'a break' or 'a gap'. So something unbreached has 'no break' and stays whole and secure, like a fortress wall with no gaps.
