Morphology
ungendered = ungender (transparent) = un + gender + ed
The adjective is formed by adding '-ed' to 'ungender' (itself transparently formed from 'gender' with the productive negating prefix 'un-'), so the derivation is straightforward.
Etymology
The word ungendered is made from un- meaning 'not' and gender, a word that originally meant 'kind' or 'type' and is the same root as generation and gene. So an ungendered uniform or space is not for any particular gender and aims to help everyone feel included.
