Morphology

unnoted = noted (transparent) = un + note + ed

Meaning is directly derived from the adjective 'noted' (noticed) with the negative prefix 'un-', so learners who know 'noted' can infer 'unnoted'.

Etymology

The word unnoted starts with un- meaning 'not' and the rest comes from note, a common word meaning 'to notice' or 'a small mark'. So unnoted simply means 'not noticed' or not paid attention to.
