Morphology

uncapped = uncap (transparent) = un + cap + ed

Derived from 'uncap' + '-ed'; whether 'cap' means 'cover' or 'limit', 'uncapped' straightforwardly means 'not covered' or 'not limited'.

Etymology

Uncapped is made from un- (meaning 'not') and cap (a 'limit' or a 'cover', like a bottle top). So uncapped means 'not covered' or 'without a limit', as when a plan or earnings have no maximum amount.
