Morphology

unranked = ranked (transparent) = un + rank + ed

The word is formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to 'ranked' (rank + -ed), so the negative adjectival meaning is directly predictable.

Etymology

Unranked is made of un- meaning 'not' and rank meaning 'position' or 'level', like in a 'ranked list' or an army 'rank'. So unranked describes something that is 'not given a position' in an order or hierarchy.
