Morphology

uncensored = censored (transparent) = un + censor + ed

The prefix 'un-' clearly negates the meaning of 'censored', indicating something not subjected to censorship.

Etymology

Uncensored breaks into un- meaning 'not' and censor, a word that comes from a Roman official who would judge public morals and sometimes remove parts of books or speech. So, uncensored means 'not' altered or 'not' having parts removed, shown in its full original form.
