Morphology

unsatiated = satiated (transparent) = un + satiate + ed

Formation is the negation prefix 'un-' attached to the adjective 'satiated' meaning 'not satisfied', which is directly derivable by learners.

Etymology

The word unsatiated breaks into un- 'not' and satiate, from the old word satis meaning 'enough', the same root you see in satisfy and satisfied. So if you are unsatiated, you are 'not' 'filled with enough' — you are not satisfied and still want more.
