Morphology

unfavorite = favorite (transparent) = un + favorite

The noun is formed by negating the familiar noun 'favorite' with 'un-', producing 'a person/thing that is not liked or preferred'.

Etymology

Unfavorite is easy to remember as the opposite of a favorite: un- means 'not' and favorite means 'most liked', so an unfavorite is the person or thing people like least.
