Morphology
uncaged = uncage (transparent) = un + cage + ed
Derived from 'uncage' + '-ed' with a clear adjectival/past-participle meaning; the figurative sense 'uninhibited' is a straightforward extension of 'not caged'.
Etymology
Uncaged comes from un- ('not') and cage ('a box for animals'), and a helpful way to remember it is to picture someone or something without a cage — 'not held back', wild and free.
