Morphology

unscreened = screened (transparent) = un + screen + ed

Formed by standard prefixation: 'un-' + 'screened' (which is screen + -ed), so the negated meaning is directly predictable.

Etymology

Unscreened is made of un- 'not' and screen, and here screen means to check or filter people or samples. So an unscreened sample or applicant has not been checked for safety or quality.
