Morphology
unhandled = handled (transparent) = un + handle + ed
A direct negation of 'handled' in the sense 'not dealt with' which matches ordinary English usage.
Etymology
Unhandled comes from the prefix un- 'not' and handle 'to manage', with handle linked to hand. So when something is unhandled, no one has 'taken it in hand' to deal with or respond to it.
