Morphology
unrepented = repented (transparent) = un + repent + ed
The adjective is formed by adding un- to the past-participle form 'repented', so its meaning 'not repented' is directly inferable from known parts.
Etymology
The word unrepented breaks into un- meaning 'not' and repent meaning 'to feel sorry', so unrepented describes someone who did not feel or show regret.
