Morphology

unweighted = weighted (transparent) = un + weight + ed

Formed by productive prefix 'un-' added to 'weighted'; meaning 'not weighted' is directly predictable.

Etymology

Unweighted is made of un- ('not') and weight ('heaviness' or 'importance'), and you can think of 'weight' like when something 'carries weight' and is important. So unweighted means 'not given extra importance' in a calculation, which is why every item counts the same.
