Morphology
unmissed = missed (transparent) = un + miss + ed
Meaning is a straightforward negation of the participial adjective 'missed' (un- + missed = 'not missed'), so learners can derive it from the base.
Etymology
Unmissed starts with un- ('not') and uses miss ('to feel someone is not there', as in 'I miss you'). So unmissed describes a person or thing that left but was 'not noticed as missing'.
