Morphology

unrisen = risen (transparent) = un + rise + en

The negation 'un-' added to the past-participle 'risen' yields a literal negative meaning ('not risen' = not got up); learners who know 'rise/risen' will infer this.

Etymology

Unrisen comes from the prefix un- 'not' and the verb rise 'to get up'. So unrisen means 'not yet got up' and is used for someone still lying in bed.
