Morphology
untaken = taken (semi-transparent) = un + take + en
The form is un- + taken, but this sense relies on 'taken' meaning 'affected' or 'seized', which is a less transparent, somewhat archaic/figurative use for many learners.
Etymology
Untaken comes from the prefix un- 'not' and taken (from take), so it literally means 'not taken'. That's why when someone is untaken by fear they are 'not affected' by it and stay calm.
