Morphology

unmounted = mount (transparent) = un + mount + ed

The meaning is directly derived from 'mount' with the prefix 'un-' indicating negation and the suffix '-ed' forming an adjective.

Etymology

Unmounted comes from un- meaning 'not' and mount meaning 'to get on a horse', like when a rider 'mounts' a horse. So unmounted means 'not on horseback' or 'on foot'.
