Morphology

unvalidated = validated (transparent) = un + validate + ed

Formed by the productive negative prefix 'un-' attached to 'validated' (past participle), so the meaning 'not validated' is directly derivable.

Etymology

The word unvalidated starts with un- meaning 'not', and the part validate is related to the idea of value and once meant 'to make strong or official', so unvalidated describes something 'not made official or checked'.
