Morphology

unwearied = wearied (transparent) = un + weary + ed

Formed by adding the negation prefix 'un-' to 'wearied' (weary + -ed); the meaning 'not tired' is directly predictable.

Etymology

Unwearied comes from the prefix un- meaning 'not' and wearied, from weary meaning 'tired'. So, unwearied describes someone or something that is 'not tired' and keeps going without slowing.
