Morphology
unspent = spent (transparent) = un + spent
The negative prefix 'un-' directly negates the adjective 'spent', yielding 'not spent' in a straightforward way.
Etymology
Unspent is made from un- 'not' and spent, the past form of spend which means 'used' or 'paid'. So unspent means money or resources that are 'not yet used', like cash left in a jar at the end of the month.
