Morphology

uncensured = censured (transparent) = un + censure + ed

A straightforward negative formation: un- + censured = not criticized; learners who know 'censure' can derive this meaning.

Etymology

Uncensured also uses un- 'not' and censure 'official strong criticism'. So uncensured can mean 'not officially condemned or blamed', as when a person or action escapes formal criticism.
