Morphology
untrailed = trailed (transparent) = un + trail + ed
The word 'untrailed' is transparently derived from 'trailed' by adding the prefix 'un-', indicating a state of not trailing.
Etymology
Untrailed comes from un- 'not' and trail 'to follow behind' or 'path', so it literally means 'not behind'. So when a team or player is untrailed, they are not losing and have not fallen behind in the contest.
