Morphology
unmourned = mourned (transparent) = un + mourn + ed
Formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to the past participle 'mourned' (mourn + -ed), so the meaning 'not grieved for' is directly derivable.
Etymology
Unmourned is made of un- 'not' and mourn 'to grieve'. So, someone or something that is unmourned is not grieved for or missed after death or loss.
