Morphology

unpacified = pacify (transparent) = un + pacify + ed

The meaning is clearly derived from 'pacify' with the prefix 'un-' indicating negation and the suffix '-ed' forming an adjective.

Etymology

Unpacified starts with un- meaning 'not' and uses the root pac meaning 'peace', the same root you see in the word peace. So unpacified simply means 'not made peaceful' or 'not calmed'.
