Morphology
unremedied = remedied (transparent) = un + remedy + ed
The prefix 'un-' is added to the regular past participle 'remedied' to mean 'not corrected', a direct and regular negation.
Etymology
Unremedied comes from the prefix un- meaning 'not' and remedy meaning 'a cure' or 'something that fixes a problem', like a 'home remedy'. So unremedied describes a fault or wrong that has not been fixed or put right.
