Morphology

unplaced = placed (transparent) = un + place + ed

The meaning is clearly derived from 'placed' with the prefix 'un-' indicating the negative form.

Etymology

Unplaced comes from the parts un- meaning 'not' and place meaning a position or rank, like in 'first place'. So if someone is unplaced in a race, they do not have a top position.
