Etymology: "Unanalyzed" is a plain formation: the prefix "un-", meaning "not," attached to "analyzed," the past participle of "analyze." The prefix has been part of English since Old English, descending from Proto-Germanic "un-," and it is one of the most productive ways of forming negative adjectives in the language. Its pairing with "analyzed" is simply a matter of negating a participle that already described something subjected to analysis. The core verb "analyze" comes from the Greek "analyein," meaning "to loosen up" or "to undo," built from "ana-" ("up, back") and "lyein" ("to loosen"). That sense of taking something apart into its pieces is still visible in the adjective: to be unanalyzed is to remain whole, untaken-apart, with its parts never separated out for inspection.
