Morphology
unconsulted = consulted (transparent) = un + consult + ed
The adjective is formed by negating the past-participle/adjective 'consulted' with the productive negation prefix 'un-', yielding 'not asked for advice', which is directly derivable.
Etymology
The word unconsulted joins un-, the 'not' part, and consult, which means 'to ask advice'. So, unconsulted means someone who was 'not asked' for their opinion or advice before a decision.
