Morphology

unrectified = rectified (transparent) = un + rectify + ed

The negative prefix 'un-' directly negates the adjective 'rectified' (corrected), yielding 'not corrected'.

Etymology

Unrectified is made of un- 'not' and rectify 'to make right', which you can think of like the common word correct. So something unrectified is not fixed or corrected.
