Morphology
unglimpsed = glimpsed (transparent) = un + glimpse + ed
The prefix 'un-' clearly negates the past participle 'glimpsed', indicating something not seen.
Etymology
The word unglimpsed is made from the part un- 'not' and glimpse 'a quick look', and glimpse is like a short 'glimmer' of sight, so unglimpsed means 'not seen even briefly'.
