Morphology

unenumerated = enumerated (transparent) = un + enumerate + ed

Standard negation of 'enumerated' by 'un-' yields 'not counted/included', which is straightforward for learners.

Etymology

Unenumerated is made of un- 'not' and enumerate, from the root numer- meaning 'number', just like number. So, unenumerated means 'not counted', and it fits people or places left out of a census or official count.
