Morphology

unprocessed = processed (transparent) = un + process + ed

Clearly formed by adding the productive negative prefix 'un-' to the adjective 'processed', yielding a straightforward negation.

Etymology

The word unprocessed is made of un- 'not' and process, a word for 'a series of steps' used to change or treat something. So unprocessed means it has not gone through those steps and stays in its natural, original state.
