Morphology

unconcerted = concerted (transparent) = un + concert + ed

The prefix 'un-' clearly negates the adjective 'concerted', indicating a lack of coordination.

Etymology

The word unconcerted combines un- meaning 'not' with concert, like a music concert where people act together, so it means 'not together' or not planned as a group. That's why an unconcerted action is not coordinated with others.
