Morphology

unfitted = fitted (transparent) = un + fit + ed

The negative prefix 'un-' applied to 'fitted' conveys the expected sense 'not fit/suitable', matching regular English negation patterns.

Etymology

Unfitted is formed from un- 'not' and fit 'suitable' or 'able', like in the word unfit. So unfitted can mean 'not suitable' or 'not qualified' for a particular job or purpose.
