Morphology
unestablished = established (transparent) = un + establish + ed
The word straightforwardly means 'not established,' with the productive negating prefix un- applied to established.
Etymology
Unestablished breaks into un- meaning 'not' and established meaning 'made firm' or 'set up', and it comes from the same idea as stable ('steady'). So unestablished describes something that is 'not firmly set up' or not yet widely accepted.
