Morphology

unposted = posted (transparent) = un + post + ed

The adjective is formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to 'posted' (post + -ed); the negation of 'posted' is directly predictable for learners who know 'post/posted'.

Etymology

Unposted is made from the part un- meaning 'not' and the word post, which means to put up or send, like when you 'post' a notice on a board or 'post' a message online. So unposted means 'not sent' or 'not made public'.
