Morphology
untallied = tallied (transparent) = un + tally + ed
The adjective is formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to 'tallied', producing a straightforward negation.
Etymology
Untallied starts with un-, which means 'not', and ends with tally; a tally was once a marked stick people used to 'count' things. So, untallied means 'not counted' or not yet added to the total.
