How Budgeted
Surface Forms
Morphology
unbudgeted = budgeted (transparent) = un + budget + ed
Formed by prefixing 'un-' to 'budgeted' to mean 'not included in a budget', a direct negation of the base adjective.
Etymology
Unbudgeted is made of un- 'not' and budget 'a plan for money', so it means a cost that was 'not planned in the budget', which is why it is unexpected and needs extra funds.
