Morphology
unacknowledged = acknowledged (transparent) = un + acknowledge + ed
Formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to the participial adjective 'acknowledged', yielding a straightforward negative adjective.
Etymology
Unacknowledged is built from un- meaning 'not' and acknowledge, which is related to the simple word knowledge and originally meant 'to know' or 'to admit'. So unacknowledged means 'not admitted' or 'not given credit', which is why we use it for things people do not recognize or accept.
