Morphology

unweighed = weighed (semi-transparent) = un + weigh + ed

The negation 'un-' applies to the past-participle 'weighed' but the sense 'not considered' is a metaphorical extension of 'weigh' ('to consider'), so learners may not map literal 'not weighed' to 'not considered' immediately.

Etymology

Unweighed comes from un- 'not' and weigh 'to measure weight' or 'to think carefully', the same root as weight. So when we call an opinion unweighed, we mean it was 'not considered' or 'not evaluated'.
