Morphology

unrated = rated (transparent) = un + rate + ed

A straightforward negation formed by productive prefix 'un-' attached to 'rated'.

Etymology

Unrated comes from the part un- meaning 'not' and the word rate meaning 'to give a score', as in rating. So unrated means 'not given a score' or 'not officially rated', which is why we use it for movies, games, or papers that have no rating yet.
