Morphology

uncaptioned = captioned (transparent) = un + caption + ed

Clear negation 'un-' applied to 'captioned' yields 'not having a caption', a direct and regular formation.

Etymology

Uncaptioned is made of un- ('not') and caption ('a short title or label under a picture'), so it simply means 'not having a caption', like a photo left without its little label.
