Morphology

unboiled = boiled (transparent) = un + boil + ed

The productive negation prefix 'un-' attaches to the adjective 'boiled' to mean 'not boiled', which is directly predictable.

Etymology

The word unboiled is made of the small parts un- meaning 'not' and boiled, from boil meaning 'to heat until water bubbles'. So unboiled means 'not cooked in boiling water', for example an egg or potato that has not been boiled.
