Morphology
uncited = cited (transparent) = un + cite + ed
Standard negation with the productive prefix 'un-' attached to 'cited'; the sense is directly 'not cited' and easily inferred by learners.
Etymology
Uncited comes from un- 'not' and cite 'to name or call out', the same root you see in recite. So if someone is 'cited' they are officially named or praised, and uncited means 'not named' or 'not officially recognized'.
