Morphology

unrented = rented (transparent) = un + rent + ed

Formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to 'rented', yielding the straightforward meaning 'not rented'.

Etymology

The word unrented is made from the prefix un- meaning 'not' and rented, from rent meaning 'to pay to use something'. So unrented means 'not currently let to anyone'.
