Morphology

unresearched = researched (transparent) = un + research + ed

The prefix 'un-' transparently negates the meaning of 'researched', forming an adjective meaning 'not researched'.

Etymology

Unresearched breaks into un- meaning 'not' and research, which is like a careful 'search' for facts. So unresearched describes something that has not been properly looked into or studied.
