Morphology

unpicked = picked (transparent) = un + pick + ed

The prefix 'un-' clearly negates the adjective 'picked', forming a transparent meaning of 'not picked'.

Etymology

Unpicked is made from un- meaning 'not' and pick meaning 'choose' or 'pluck', like picking fruit. So unpicked means 'not chosen' or still left behind, as in fruit left on the tree.
