Morphology

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

Literal negation formed by adding 'un-' to 'weighed' (not measured by weight), which is directly inferable from the parts.

Etymology

Unweighed comes from un- 'not' and weigh 'to measure weight', the same root as weight, so it simply means 'not yet weighed' or 'not measured by weight'.
