unconverged = converged (transparent) = un + converge + ed
The adjective 'converged' (often used of processes or calculations) is negated by 'un-' in a regular way, preserving the technical sense.
Etymology
The word unconverged has un- 'not' plus converge, which can mean 'move to one point' or 'come together', so picture a calculation or process that keeps changing and never settles to a single answer. So unconverged means the process has not reached a stable or final state.
