Morphology
unfarmed = farmed (transparent) = un + farm + ed
Derived by adding the productive negating prefix 'un-' to 'farmed', so the meaning 'not used for farming' is directly inferable.
Etymology
Unfarmed is built from the negative un- ('not') and farm (the land a farmer uses). So it literally means 'not used for farming', which is why unfarmed fields are not planted and often have wildflowers and tall grass.
