Morphology
unrationalized = rationalized (transparent) = un + rational + ize + ed
The adjective is formed by the productive negating prefix 'un-' attached to 'rationalized' (rational + -ize + -ed), so the meaning 'not made rational/explained' follows regular morphology.
Etymology
Unrationalized comes from un- 'not' and the verb rationalize, which means 'to make logical' and is built on rational, like the English word 'reason'. So unrationalized describes something that is 'not made logical'.
