Morphology

unpaginated = paginated (transparent) = un + page + ate + ed

The adjective is formed by adding un- to 'paginated' (having page numbers), producing the direct negation 'not paginated'; this is a regular and transparent formation for learners who know 'page'/'paginate'.

Etymology

Unpaginated is made from un- meaning 'not' and page plus paginate meaning 'to put page numbers on'. So unpaginated means 'not given page numbers', which is why such a book or report is hard to find a place in or to refer to.
