Morphology

unembraced = embraced (transparent) = un + embrace + ed

The physical sense (not hugged) is the direct negation of the participial adjective 'embraced' using the productive 'un-' prefix.

Etymology

Unembraced breaks into un- and embrace, and embrace simply means a 'hug' or to hold someone in your arms. So a person who feels unembraced is 'not hugged' and is left alone.
