Morphology
unvocalized = vocalized (transparent) = un + vocal + ize + ed
The negative prefix 'un-' directly negates 'vocalized' to mean 'not made vocal/pronounced', a straightforward morphological negation.
Etymology
The word unvocalized starts with un- meaning 'not' and the rest comes from vocal meaning 'voice', just like in vocal or vocalize. So unvocalized means 'not marked with vowel sounds' and is used for writing or speech that does not show how to say the words.
