Morphology
unexpended = expended (transparent) = un + expend + ed
The adjective is the straightforward negation of 'expended' (spent), so learners can derive the meaning by applying un- to the base adjective.
Etymology
Unexpended combines the prefix un- meaning 'not' with expended from expend meaning 'to spend', which is like the everyday word spend. So unexpended means money or resources that are 'not yet spent' or 'left over'.
