Morphology

unended = ended (transparent) = un + end + ed

Formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to the adjective 'ended', yielding a straightforward negation 'not ended'.

Etymology

The word unended is made from un- ('not') and end ('finish'). So unended means 'not finished', like a road or a story that keeps going with no final stop.
