Morphology

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

Standard negation of 'lifted' in the sense 'removed' (e.g., 'lift a ban'); the composition is regular and predictable.

Etymology

Unlifted joins un- 'not' with lift 'to remove or end', as in the phrase 'lift a ban'. So when a rule or restriction is unlifted, it has not been removed or ended.
