Morphology

unrigged = rigged (transparent) = un + rig + ed

Built by prefixing 'un-' to 'rigged' (meaning manipulated), yielding the straightforward negation 'not manipulated'.

Etymology

Unrigged also uses un- 'not' and rig 'to fix or cheat', as in 'rig an election'. So an unrigged vote or process is 'not fixed' and is fair and free from tampering.
