Morphology
uncalibrated = calibrated (transparent) = un + calibrate + ed
The adjective is formed by regular prefixation of 'un-' to 'calibrated', giving the straightforward meaning 'not calibrated'.
Etymology
The word uncalibrated combines un- meaning 'not' with calibrate, a word from roots that mean 'to measure' or 'make accurate' and is like the measuring tool caliper. So an uncalibrated instrument is 'not adjusted to a standard' and may give wrong or unreliable results.
