Morphology
uncensured = censured (opaque) = un + censure + ed
Formally analyzable as un- + censured, but the sense given ('not censored') conflates 'censure' with 'censor', so knowledge of 'censure' will not reliably lead learners to the stated meaning.
Etymology
Uncensured breaks into un- 'not' and censure, a word related to censor, who cuts out or hides parts of books and shows. So uncensured can mean 'not cut or removed by a censor', as when a report keeps all its controversial details.
