Morphology
The meaning 'shares not listed or traded on an exchange' is directly derivable from combining 'unlisted' (not listed) with 'stock' (shares). This is a straightforward adjective+noun negation pattern common across languages and standard English usage, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should understand the MWE.
Etymology
The noun unlisted stock comes from the simple idea of stock that is unlisted, not on the official list of a stock exchange. These shares were often sold in 'private deals' rather than on the public market, so unlisted stock now means 'shares not traded on a public exchange'.
