Morphology
unattempted = attempted (transparent) = un + attempt + ed
The adjective is formed by adding productive negation 'un-' to the participial adjective 'attempted', yielding the straightforward meaning 'not attempted'.
Etymology
Unattempted is made of the prefix un- meaning 'not' and the verb attempt meaning 'to try'. So unattempted means 'not tried' or 'not done yet', like a question on a test you did not try before time ran out.
