Etymology: "Unminimized" is simply the prefix "un-", meaning "not", attached to "minimized," the past participle form of "minimize." The verb "minimize," meaning to reduce something to the smallest possible amount or degree, is the base that gives the adjective its sense of something left unreduced. The prefix "un-" is an ancient and productive English element, and it can be attached to many participles and adjectives to express negation or reversal. "Unminimized" therefore describes a quantity, setting, or item that has not been cut down, shrunk, or brought to its smallest form. It is a straightforward formation with no separate history of its own, so its meaning follows directly from its two parts.
