Morphology

unmilled = milled (transparent) = un + mill + ed

A standard negation prefix 'un-' attached to the participial/adjectival 'milled' yields the straightforward meaning 'not milled'.

Etymology

Unmilled starts with un- meaning 'not' and comes from mill, which means 'to grind'. That's why unmilled grain or flour is 'not ground' and stays in a more natural, raw state.
