Morphology
unchivalrous = chivalrous (transparent) = un + chivalrous
The adjective is formed by adding the productive negative prefix 'un-' to the recognizable adjective 'chivalrous', so its negated meaning is directly inferable.
Etymology
Unchivalrous breaks into un- 'not' and chivalrous, which comes from old words for 'horse' and the knights who rode them. So a unchivalrous person is not acting like a courteous, brave knight; it means rude or ungallant.
