Surface Forms

untraversed positive

Morphology

untraversed = traversed (transparent) = un + traverse + ed

The word is formed by negating the past-participle/adjectival form 'traversed' with the productive prefix 'un-', yielding the literal sense 'not crossed or explored'.

Etymology

Untraversed starts with un- meaning 'not' and the part traverse means 'to cross' or 'go across', like the simple word across. So an untraversed place is a place 'not crossed' by people, not explored or traveled through.
