Morphology

unstarred = starred (transparent) = un + star + ed

Formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to 'starred' (star + -ed); the meaning 'not marked with a star/asterisk' follows regular compositional rules.

Etymology

Unstarred comes from the parts un- meaning 'not' and star, like the small star symbol used to mark things. So unstarred means 'not marked with a star or asterisk', which is why it describes items that are not specially marked.
