Morphology
unconsented = consented (transparent) = un + consent + ed
The adjective is formed by adding the negating prefix 'un-' to the participial adjective 'consented', yielding the straightforward meaning 'not consented'.
Etymology
The word unconsented is made of un- meaning 'not' and consent meaning 'permission' or a 'yes'. So unconsented describes something done without a person's agreement or permission, in other words without their 'yes'.
