Morphology
noncontrolled = controlled (transparent) = non + control + ed
The prefix 'non-' negates the adjective 'controlled', producing the plain meaning 'not subject to control or regulation' in this regulatory sense.
Etymology
Noncontrolled is built from non- meaning 'not' and control meaning 'to manage or regulate'. So noncontrolled items or medicines are 'not managed or regulated' by an authority, which is why they may be easier to buy or less supervised.
