Morphology
unrenovated = renovated (transparent) = un + renovate + ed
Formation is the productive negation 'un-' added to the adjective 'renovated', yielding the straightforward meaning 'not renovated'.
Etymology
Unrenovated is made from un- meaning 'not' and renovated meaning 'make new', like the simple word renew. So an unrenovated room or house is one that has not been made new and still looks old.
