The negative prefix 'un-' combines in the usual way with 'mortified'; the morphological step is regular.
Etymology
Unmortified comes from un- 'not' and mortify, from the root mort 'death', and in religion to 'mortify the flesh' meant to make the body like dead to control desires. So unmortified describes someone who is 'not spiritually disciplined' or whose desires are not subdued.
