Morphology
untraveled = traveled (transparent) = un + travel + ed
Formed by productive negation un- applied to 'traveled' (travel + -ed), meaning 'not traveled' in a literal sense.
Etymology
Untraveled breaks into un- 'not' and travel 'to go on a journey', so imagine a path with no footprints or visits. That's why untraveled describes a road, path, or area that has not been visited or explored.
