Morphology

unutilized = utilized (transparent) = un + utilize + ed

Adding the negative prefix 'un-' to 'utilized' gives the straightforward meaning 'not used', which is readily inferable by learners.

Etymology

Unutilized is made of un- ('not') and utilize, from a word meaning 'use' and found in utility, so unutilized simply means 'not used' or left unused.
