Morphology

unhaunted = haunted (semi-transparent) = un + haunt + ed

The negation of 'haunted' in the sense 'unfrequented' is predictable morphologically but relies on a less common sense of 'haunt' (to frequent).

Etymology

Unhaunted is made of un- meaning 'not' and haunt meaning 'to visit or be often in a place', as when people call a café their haunt. So unhaunted can mean a place that is empty or not visited by people.
