Morphology
unmanaged = managed (transparent) = un + manage + ed
Adding 'un-' to the adjective 'managed' yields the straightforward negation 'not managed'.
Etymology
Unmanaged is made of un- meaning 'not' and manage, which comes from a word for 'hand', as in manual. So unmanaged means 'not handled' or 'not controlled' by anyone.
