Morphology
ungiven = given (transparent) = un + given
Clear negation of 'given' by the productive English prefix 'un-', yielding 'not provided or granted'.
Etymology
Ungiven is built from un- 'not' plus the verb give, so it literally means 'not given'. When a prize, scholarship, or offer is left ungiven, it means it was not provided or granted to anyone, so it stayed unassigned.
