Morphology
unmanipulated = manipulated (transparent) = un + manipulate + ed
Formed by productive negation 'un-' applied to the participial/adjectival base 'manipulated', yielding the straightforward meaning 'not manipulated'.
Etymology
Unmanipulated breaks into un- meaning 'not' and manipulate, which comes from an old word for 'hand' and is the same root as manual ('by hand'). So something unmanipulated is 'not handled or changed' and is left in its natural, original state.
