Morphology

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

The adjectival past-participial form 'weighted' is simply negated by the productive prefix 'un-'; meaning is directly derivable.

Etymology

Unweighted comes from un- ('not') plus weight ('value' or 'heaviness'), and in lists or networks a 'weight' is a number that shows how important something is. So unweighted means no numbers are given and all parts are treated as equal.
