Morphology

unreported = reported (transparent) = un + report + ed

The adjective 'unreported' is a simple negation of 'reported' formed by productive 'un-'; 'reported' is the past participle/adjective from 'report'.

Etymology

Unreported breaks into un- meaning 'not' and report meaning 'to tell', like what a reporter does. So unreported describes something that was 'not told' to the public or to the authorities.
