Morphology

unseasoned = seasoned (transparent) = un + season + ed

Formed by adding the productive negative prefix 'un-' to 'seasoned' in the culinary sense, so the meaning is a straightforward negation.

Etymology

The word unseasoned comes from un- ('not') and season. The verb season once meant 'to make ready' and later came to mean 'add salt or spices', so unseasoned food is food that has not had extra flavor added.
