Morphology

unappeased = appeased (transparent) = un + appease + ed

Formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to 'appeased' (appease + -ed); the meaning 'not calmed or satisfied' follows regular negation rules and is directly derivable.

Etymology

Unappeased is made of un- meaning 'not' and appease meaning 'to make peace' or 'calm', and appease is like the word peace. So, unappeased means 'not satisfied' or 'not calmed'.
