Morphology
unsaved = saved (transparent) = un + save + ed
A straightforward negation of the common computing/ordinary sense of 'saved' (not stored); easily derivable by learners familiar with 'save'.
Etymology
Unsaved is made of un- meaning 'not' and saved, from save which means 'to keep safe' or 'to store'. So in computer language unsaved means your work is not stored and can be lost if the program closes.
