Morphology
unpriced = priced (transparent) = un + price + ed
The adjective is formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to 'priced' (price + -ed), giving the straightforward meaning 'not priced'.
Etymology
Unpriced is made of the prefix un- ('not') and price ('amount of money' or 'value'), so a helpful way to remember it is that something has 'no price' assigned; in economics this means its money value has not been set or counted.
