Morphology

unroaded = roaded (transparent) = un + road + ed

The adjective is formed by adding 'un-' to 'roaded' (road + -ed), producing 'not having roads', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Unroaded breaks into two simple parts: un- meaning 'not' and road meaning 'a way for vehicles'. So unroaded describes land or places that have no roads and are hard to reach by car.
