Morphology

unlimited = limited (transparent) = un + limit + ed

The negative prefix 'un-' is directly applied to the adjective 'limited' to produce the straightforward opposite meaning 'not limited'.

Etymology

The word unlimited breaks into un- meaning 'not' and limit meaning a 'boundary' or 'edge'. So unlimited means 'without a boundary', which is why we use it for things that have no limit or restriction.
