Morphology

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

The word is transparently formed by adding 'un-' to 'weighted', giving the negated sense.

Etymology

Unweighted is made of un- ('not') and weight ('heaviness'), so it simply means 'not having extra mass attached' — like an exercise done without extra weights. That is why an unweighted squat is done with just your body and no added load.
