Surface Forms

unwatched positive

Morphology

unwatched = watched (transparent) = un + watch + ed

Built by adding un- to the participial/adjectival form 'watched' (watch + -ed); the negated sense 'not viewed/seen' is directly derived.

Etymology

The word unwatched is made of un- 'not' and watch 'to look' or 'view'. So an unwatched film or video is one that no one has looked at or seen, meaning it has few or no viewers.
