Morphology

unclimbed = climbed (transparent) = un + climb + ed

The adjective is formed by prefixing un- to the past-participle form 'climbed' to mean 'not climbed', a straightforward negation.

Etymology

The word unclimbed is easy to remember: the start un- means 'not' and climb means 'to go up', so unclimbed means 'not' climbed yet, like a mountain with no footsteps on it.
