Morphology

unfiltered = filtered (transparent) = un + filter + ed

A literal negation of the adjectival past-participle 'filtered' (e.g., coffee that has not been passed through a filter); learners can infer this meaning directly from the parts.

Etymology

The word unfiltered comes from the part un- meaning 'not' and filter, a tool that takes out dirt or parts you do not want, like a water filter. So something unfiltered is in its natural, not-cleaned or not-processed state.
