Morphology
unguided = guided (transparent) = un + guide + ed
Negation of the adjective 'guided' by the common prefix 'un-' yields a straightforward meaning 'not given guidance.'
Etymology
The word unguided comes from the prefix un- meaning 'not' and guide meaning 'a person who leads' or 'to lead'. So an unguided tour or task is done without a guide or help, where you explore or work by yourself.
