Morphology

unsampled = sampled (transparent) = un + sample + ed

Formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to 'sampled', giving the plain opposite meaning 'not sampled'.

Etymology

Unsampled starts with un- meaning 'not' and uses sample meaning 'a small part chosen to study'. Like a free taste you did not try, unsampled means 'not chosen as part of the group for study', so it is not included in the results.
