Morphology

unlogged = logged (transparent) = un + log + ed

Clear negation of 'logged' (log + -ed): 'un-' simply means 'not', yielding 'not cut down or affected by logging'.

Etymology

Unlogged is made from un- meaning 'not' and log, a word for a piece of wood or the cutting of trees, as in logging. So an unlogged forest is one that has not been cut down.
