Morphology

uncanceled = canceled (transparent) = un + cancel + ed

Direct negative formation: 'un-' + 'canceled' straightforwardly means 'not canceled'.

Etymology

Uncanceled is built from un- meaning 'not' and cancel meaning 'to cross out' or 'stop'. So an uncanceled ticket or subscription is 'not crossed out' and is still valid or in effect.
