Morphology

unlinked = linked (transparent) = un + link + ed

Formed by applying 'un-' to the past-participle/adjectival 'linked' ('link' + -ed), yielding the straightforward negation 'not connected'.

Etymology

The word unlinked comes from the negative un- meaning 'not' and link meaning 'to join'. So unlinked describes something not joined or connected, for example a web page or image with no hyperlink that users cannot reach.
