Morphology

unmaimed = maimed + maim (transparent) = un + maim + ed

A simple negative prefix 'un-' attaches to the past-participle adjective 'maimed' to give the unmarked negated meaning 'not injured'.

Etymology

Unmaimed comes from the prefix un- meaning 'not', like in unhappy, and maim meaning 'to injure' or 'to take away a body part'. So unmaimed means 'not injured', whole and unharmed after danger.
