Morphology
unextracted = extracted (semi-transparent) = un + ex + tract + ed
The negation is regular, but the sense is specialized to syntactic extraction, so it is less obvious than ordinary physical removal.
Etymology
Unextracted comes from the parts un- ('not') and extract ('to pull out'), which is the same root as tractor. So in grammar an unextracted part is one that was not 'pulled out' of its original place in a sentence.
