Morphology

unrig = rig (transparent) = un + rig

The negative prefix 'un-' reverses the dishonest action 'rig', making the meaning 'remove manipulation' directly compositional.

Etymology

Unrig also uses un- 'remove' and rig 'to set up or to cheat' (as in an election that was 'rigged'), so a good way to remember this sense is thinking of taking away a dishonest setup. So to unrig a system or contest is to remove unfair arrangements and make things fair.
