Surface Forms
Morphology
untrailed = trailed (transparent) = un + trail + ed
The adjective is formed by negating 'trailed' (having a trail) with 'un-', yielding 'without trails', which is a direct, productive meaning.
Etymology
Untrailed comes from un- 'not' and trail 'path' or 'track', so it simply means 'without a path'. So an untrailed place is one with no trail—wild, little walked, and often unexplored.
