Morphology
unassociated = associated (transparent) = un + associate + ed
The adjective 'associated' is negated by the productive prefix 'un-', so the meaning is directly and predictably derived.
Etymology
The word unassociated is built from un- meaning 'not' and associate, meaning 'to join' or 'be connected', as in 'association'. So unassociated means 'not connected' or 'not linked' to anything else.
