Morphology
unlooked = looked (transparent) = un + look + ed
The meaning 'not seen or noticed' follows directly from negating the participial adjective 'looked' (not looked at).
Etymology
Unlooked is made from un- 'not' and looked, from the word 'look'. It means 'not seen' or 'not noticed', so an unlooked object is one no one has looked at, like a hidden letter left in a drawer.
