Morphology
unconsumed = consumed (transparent) = un + consume + ed
The adjective is a straightforward negation formed by adding 'un-' to the past participle 'consumed', so its meaning is directly recoverable from the base.
Etymology
The word unconsumed starts with un- meaning 'not' and the rest comes from consume, which means 'to use up' or 'eat'. So unconsumed means 'not used up' or 'not eaten', something that is still left.
