Morphology
unquoted = quoted (transparent) = un + quote + ed
A straightforward negation: the productive prefix 'un-' attaches to the adjective/past participle 'quoted' to mean 'not quoted'.
Etymology
Unquoted comes from the part un- meaning 'not' and the word quote, which means repeating someone's exact words or the marks that show those words. So unquoted describes text that is 'not' put in quotation marks or not given as a quotation.
