Morphology

uncastrated = castrated (transparent) = un + castrate + ed

Meaning is the straightforward negation of 'castrated' by the productive prefix 'un-'.

Etymology

Uncastrated is made from un- meaning 'not' and castrate meaning 'to remove an animal's reproductive organs'. So uncastrated simply means an animal that still has those organs and can breed.
