Morphology
unexercised = exercised (transparent) = un + exercise + ed
Formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to 'exercised', yielding the straightforward meaning 'not exercised'.
Etymology
Unexercised comes from un- meaning 'not' and exercise meaning 'to use' or 'put into action'. So an unexercised right, option, or skill is one that has not been used or practiced.
