Morphology
unpermitted = permitted (transparent) = un + permit + ed
The word 'unpermitted' is transparently derived from 'permitted' by adding the prefix 'un-' to indicate negation.
Etymology
Unpermitted is made from un- meaning 'not' and permit meaning 'to allow' or 'give permission'. So unpermitted describes something 'not allowed' or done 'without official permission'.
