Surface Forms

unregimented positive

Morphology

unregimented = regimented (transparent) = un + regiment + ed

The adjective is formed by adding the negating prefix 'un-' to 'regimented' (meaning strictly organized), producing the expected negative meaning.

Etymology

The word unregimented is made of un- 'not' and regiment, which brings to mind a military group where things are kept in strict order. So unregimented means 'not strictly controlled' or free from very strict rules.
