Morphology
unmonitored = monitored (transparent) = un + monitor + ed
The negative prefix 'un-' is attached to the participial adjective 'monitored' to mean 'not monitored', which is directly derivable.
Etymology
The word unmonitored is made from the prefix un- meaning 'not' and monitor meaning 'to watch or check', so it literally means 'not watched or checked'. Think of a camera or a teacher who 'monitors' a place; if they are not there, the place is unmonitored.
