Etymology: "Unsystematized" is a plain compound: the prefix "un-", meaning "not", attached to "systematized," the past participle of "systematize," which means to arrange something according to a system or plan. Its meaning is therefore simply "not arranged according to a system," or, as the definition puts it, lacking any order. The root "systematize" is built from "system," which comes through Late Latin "systema" from Greek "sustēma," literally "that which is put together," from "sun-" ("together") and "histanai" ("to set up"). The suffix "-ize" turns a noun into a verb meaning to make or treat in a certain way, so "systematize" means to make something systematic. Adding "un-" to a past participle produces an adjective describing something that has not been given such an arrangement.
