Morphology
unconquered = conquered (transparent) = un + conquer + ed
The adjective is formed by negating the past-participle meaning 'conquered', so the negation is directly inferable.
Etymology
The word unconquered is made of un- meaning 'not' and conquer meaning 'to take control by force', the same part you see in conquest. So an unconquered place, people, or spirit is one that has not been defeated or taken over.
