Morphology

unsized = sized (transparent) = un + size + ed

The negative prefix 'un-' directly negates 'sized' (having a size), producing the straightforward meaning 'not made in specific sizes'.

Etymology

Unsized is made from the prefix un- 'not' and sized from size 'measure' or 'fit'. So unsized means 'not made to a particular size' and is used for things meant to fit many different people.
