Morphology

unhistoric = historic (semi-transparent) = un + historic

The formation un- + historic is clear, but the specific sense 'not recorded in history' may not be the primary interpretation learners expect from 'historic'.

Etymology

The word unhistoric joins un- meaning 'not' with historic, from history meaning 'record of the past', so it can mean 'not recorded' or not mentioned in old records.
