Morphology

unreferred = referred (transparent) = un + refer + ed

The adjective is formed by standard negation (un-) applied to the past-participle/adjectival 'referred', yielding the direct meaning 'not referred'.

Etymology

Unreferred is made of un- ('not') and refer ('to mention or point to'), the same root as reference. So an unreferred source is one that was not mentioned or listed, which explains why it means 'not mentioned'.
