Morphology

unrenewed = renewed (transparent) = un + renew + ed

The negative prefix 'un-' is transparently attached to the adjective 'renewed' to mean 'not renewed'.

Etymology

The word unrenewed breaks into un- 'not', re- 'again' and new 'fresh'. So it means 'not made fresh again', which is why an unrenewed contract or tired energy was not restored.
