Morphology
unregarded = regarded (transparent) = un + regard + ed
Formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to the adjective 'regarded' (regard + -ed), so the meaning 'not noticed/valued' is directly compositional.
Etymology
Unregarded is made from un- meaning 'not' and regard meaning 'to look at' or 'to respect', just like when you regard someone you notice or value them. So, something unregarded is 'not looked at' or 'not valued', which is why it means ignored or overlooked.
