Morphology

unexpelled = expelled (transparent) = un + expel + ed

Formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to 'expelled' with the ordinary meaning 'not expelled'.

Etymology

Unexpelled is made of un- ('not') and expel ('to push out'). So it means a person or member who was not sent out or removed and therefore remains in the group or place.
