Surface Forms
Morphology
unremembered = remembered (transparent) = un + remember + ed
The adjective is formed by negating 'remembered' with the productive prefix 'un-', so the meaning is directly 'not remembered'.
Etymology
Unremembered is formed from the prefix un- ('not') and remember ('to keep in your memory'), similar to how un- works in unhappy to mean 'not happy'. So unremembered means 'not remembered' or forgotten.
