Morphology

unhedged = hedged (transparent) = un + hedge + ed

Literal negation of 'hedged' (not surrounded by a hedge); straightforward for learners who know 'hedge' as a boundary.

Etymology

Unhedged is made from un- 'not' and hedge 'a fence of bushes'. It simply describes a garden or field with no hedge around it, so the place is open and not private.
