Morphology

unexceeded = exceeded (transparent) = un + exceed + ed

The meaning is directly derived by negating the participial adjective 'exceeded' with the productive prefix 'un-'.

Etymology

Unexceeded breaks into parts: un- meaning 'not', and ex- plus ceed meaning 'out' and 'go', as in exit 'out' or proceed 'go on'. So, unexceeded means 'not gone beyond', which is why we use it for something not beaten or improved on.
