Morphology
unconsummated = unconsummate (transparent) = un + consummate + ed
Formed by adding the participial/adjectival suffix '-ed' to 'unconsummate', whose negative meaning is transparently built from 'consummate'.
Etymology
Unconsummated starts with un- 'not' and the rest, consummate, means 'complete'. A helpful way to remember consummate is to think of sum 'total', and in marriage consummate came to mean 'made complete by sex', so unconsummated means 'not made complete', especially of a marriage.
