Morphology
unrecalled = recalled (transparent) = un + recall + ed
The adjective is formed by adding 'un-' to 'recalled' (past participle of 'recall'), producing a straightforward negation.
Etymology
Unrecalled comes from the prefix un- 'not' and recall 'to bring back to mind'. Recall is like the common word call with the idea of 'back', so unrecalled means 'not remembered'.
