Morphology

unpartnered = partnered (transparent) = un + partner + ed

Negation of 'partnered' in the romantic/domestic domain yields 'not partnered'; this is a direct and regular derivation.

Etymology

Unpartnered comes from un- 'not' and partner 'a life or romantic companion'. So, unpartnered means 'not in a romantic or domestic partnership', in other words single.
