Morphology
unprotested = protested (transparent) = un + protest + ed
Clear negative prefixation: 'un-' added to 'protested' (having been objected to) yields 'not objected to', which is straightforward for learners.
Etymology
Unprotested is from un- 'not' and protest 'public complaint'. So if something goes unprotested, people did not complain or oppose it.
