unrecalled positive

Morphology

unrecalled = recalled (transparent) = un + recall + ed

The word is formed by negating 'recalled' (in the sense 'withdrawn' or 'called back'), which is a predictable formation.

Etymology

Unrecalled comes from the prefix un- 'not' and recall 'to call back'. Think of a company that 'calls back' a faulty product; unrecalled then means 'not withdrawn' or 'not called back'.
