The root word for "unthreatened" is "threaten." In this case, the prefix "un-" is added to the root word "threaten" to create the word "unthreatened." Prefixes are added to the beginning of a word to modify its meaning, in this case indicating the absence of being threatened.

What does unthreatened mean?

It means the state of being unthreatening... which is not unfriendly or threatening. It doesn't necessarily go all the way to saying the person is friendly or means well, but means you are in a non-hostile environment. I don't know that a lot of people would use the word though. They would probably just say they felt safe or the environment was neutral rather than saying they felt "unthreatened." Maybe in a case where someone was threatening until finding out that you meant no harm, and so the difference was the threat was removed... then you might feel "unthreatened." Or where you are making a point about what you *don't* want, as in "I want a peaceful, unthreatened life."
