Morphology

unthrottled = throttled (transparent) = un + throttle + ed

Clear negative prefixation: 'un-' attaches to 'throttled' (throttle + -ed) to mean 'not limited', which is straightforward for learners.

Etymology

Unthrottled is made of un- 'not' and throttle, a word that comes from throat and used to mean 'to choke' or 'close'. So unthrottled means 'not held back' or 'not limited', allowing something to run at 'full speed' or full power.
