Morphology
unnormalized = normalized (transparent) = un + normal + ize + ed
Formed by adding the negating prefix 'un-' to 'normalized'; the derivation follows regular, productive morphology.
Etymology
Unnormalized is built from the prefix un- meaning 'not' and normal meaning 'standard' or 'usual'. So an unnormalized number or set of data is simply 'not made normal' — it has not been adjusted or scaled to the same standard, which is why you often change it before you compare or use it.
