Morphology

unviewed = viewed (transparent) = un + view + ed

The adjective is formed by negating the participial adjective 'viewed' with the productive prefix 'un-', yielding 'not seen' in a direct, regular way.

Etymology

Unviewed joins the prefix un- 'not' with view 'to see'. So it simply means 'not seen', used for things left unread, unwatched, or not looked at.
