Morphology
unmolested = molested (transparent) = un + molest + ed
Formed by straightforward negation of the adjective 'molested' with the productive prefix 'un-', so the meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
The word unmolested is made of the parts un- meaning 'not' and molest meaning 'to bother or harm'. So, unmolested describes something left 'not bothered' or 'left in peace', like a bird building a nest without being disturbed.
