Morphology
unexecuted = executed (transparent) = un + execute + ed
Formed by the productive negative prefix 'un-' applied to the participial adjective 'executed', yielding the straightforward meaning 'not carried out'.
Etymology
Unexecuted is made of the part un- meaning 'not' and execute meaning 'to carry out' or 'to finish a plan'. So unexecuted describes something 'not carried out' or not made effective, like a contract that was never signed.
