Morphology
untackled = tackled (transparent) = un + tackle + ed
The adjective is formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to 'tackled' (past participle of 'tackle'), yielding 'not dealt with' as a straightforward negation.
Etymology
The word untackled is un- 'not' plus tackle 'to deal with'. Tackle once meant the ropes and tools on a ship, so it later came to mean the actions you use to handle a job or problem, which is why untackled means 'not dealt with'.
