Morphology
uncashed = cashed (transparent) = un + cash + ed
Standard negation with 'un-' attached to the past participle 'cashed'; meaning 'not cashed' is directly derivable.
Etymology
The word uncashed is made of un- meaning 'not' and cash meaning 'money' or 'to turn into money'. So uncashed describes something, like a check, that has not been turned into money yet.
