Morphology

unmeasured = measured (transparent) = un + measure + ed

The adjective 'measured' is a direct -ed form of 'measure', so the immediate base is clear.

Etymology

Unmeasured comes from the parts un- ('not') and measure ('to limit or size', like when you measure with a tape). So when something is called unmeasured it means it seems not limited or almost limitless, as in great generosity or vast space.
