Morphology
unharmed = harmed (transparent) = un + harm + ed
A straightforward negative prefix 'un-' attaches to the past-participle adjective 'harmed' to mean 'not injured'.
Etymology
Unharmed is made from the prefix un- meaning 'not' and the word harm meaning 'hurt', the same 'harm' you see in harmless. So unharmed simply means 'not hurt' or 'safe'.
