Morphology

unassisted = assisted (transparent) = un + assist + ed

Formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to 'assisted' (assist + -ed), so the meaning 'not helped' is directly derived.

Etymology

Unassisted breaks into un- meaning 'not' and assist meaning 'to help', and it shares the same root as assistant. So unassisted means 'without help', something done 'not helped' by anyone else.
