How Rewarded
Surface Forms
Morphology
unrewarded = rewarded (transparent) = un + reward + ed
The adjective is formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to the past participle 'rewarded', producing a straightforward negation of having been given a reward.
Etymology
Unrewarded is made of un- meaning 'not' and reward meaning a 'payment' or 'thanks' for work. So, if efforts are unrewarded, they have not received any payment, praise, or thanks.
