Morphology
unrepresented = represented (transparent) = un + represent + ed
The adjective 'represented' (represent + -ed) is negated by the productive prefix 'un-', so the meaning is directly derivable.
Etymology
Unrepresented starts with un- meaning 'not' and the part represent comes from a word meaning 'to make present' or 'to speak for someone', the same idea found in present. So unrepresented describes people or groups who are 'not shown' or 'have no one to speak or act for them', which is why we use it when they lack a voice or place.
