Morphology

unclassified = classified (transparent) = un + classify + ed

Built by negating 'classified' (assigned to a class/category) with the productive prefix 'un-'; the negative sense is directly inferable.

Etymology

Unclassified comes from un- meaning 'not' and class meaning 'a group' or 'category'. So something described as unclassified is 'not' placed into any class or category, which is why we use it for items that are not sorted or assigned.
