Morphology
unmet = met (transparent) = un + met
The prefix 'un-' clearly negates the verb 'met', forming an adjective meaning 'not met'.
Etymology
The word unmet is made of the prefix un- meaning 'not' and the verb meet meaning 'to come together' or 'to satisfy'. So, unmet describes a need or goal that was 'not' satisfied or 'not' achieved.
