Morphology

unnegotiated = negotiated (transparent) = un + negotiate + ed

A straightforward negative prefix 'un-' applied to the participial/adjectival form 'negotiated'; learners who know 'negotiate' will readily infer 'not negotiated'.

Etymology

Unnegotiated is made from un- 'not' and negotiate 'to make a deal'. So it describes terms or points that were never talked about or agreed in a negotiation.
