Morphology

unprimed = primed (transparent) = un + prime + ed

Direct negation of 'primed' in the sense 'marked with a prime', so the morphological relation is regular.

Etymology

Unprimed is built from un- plus primed, and prime here links to the idea of 'first' or a marked form, like 'primary'. An unprimed variable is the original, not the one changed or given a prime mark, which is why it shows the initial values.
