untouristed positive

Morphology

untouristed = tourist (transparent) = un + tourist + ed

The form 'touristed' can be analysed as 'tourist' + '-ed' meaning 'visited by tourists', and adding 'un-' straightforwardly negates that meaning.

Etymology

Untouristed comes from the prefix un- meaning 'not' and tourist, which comes from tour meaning 'a trip'. So an untouristed place is one 'not visited by tourists', a quiet spot off the usual travel routes.
