Morphology
unregistered = registered (transparent) = un + register + ed
Formed by adding the productive negative prefix 'un-' to the adjective 'registered' (itself 'register' + '-ed'), so the meaning 'not registered' is directly derived.
Etymology
Unregistered breaks into un- meaning 'not' and register meaning 'a list' or 'record'. So, something unregistered is simply 'not on the official list or record', for example a vehicle or worker that has not been entered with the authorities.
