Morphology
unremembering = remembering (semi-transparent) = un + remember + ing
The form is a straightforward prefixation of 'remembering' with un-, but the sense 'not remembered' is a slight shift from the more basic meaning 'not remembering'.
Etymology
Unremembering is made from un- meaning 'not' and remember, which is related to memory ('mindful'). So unremembering describes people, places, or events that are 'not remembered' and have been forgotten by people or history.
