Morphology

unlifted = lifted (transparent) = un + lift + ed

The adjective is formed by adding the productive negating prefix 'un-' to the adjective 'lifted', giving a straightforward negation 'not lifted'.

Etymology

Unlifted is made of un- 'not' and lift 'to raise or pick up'. Think of a heavy box that was never raised off the floor; that's why unlifted means 'not having been lifted or raised from a place'.
