Morphology
unkissed = kissed (transparent) = un + kiss + ed
The adjective is formed by 'kiss' + '-ed' and 'un-' straightforwardly negates that state.
Etymology
Unkissed is made of un- meaning 'not' and kissed, from kiss meaning 'to touch with the lips'. So unkissed simply describes someone who has 'not' been kissed.
