Etymology: "Undersuggested" is a plain English compound: the prefix "under-" (meaning "too little" or "insufficiently") attached to "suggested," the past participle of "suggest." The pattern is productive, so the same formation appears with many verbs, such as "underused," "underfunded," and "underestimated." Its meaning follows the prefix directly: something that has been suggested too weakly or too little to register. Because the word is built from two established parts, there is no separate coinage story or notable first usage to report. Its sense comes straight from combining the prefix's meaning with the participle's meaning, so the word can be read at a glance even though it is rarely written.
