Morphology

uncluttered = cluttered (transparent) = un + clutter + ed

The word is formed by prefixing 'un-' to the adjective 'cluttered', giving the straightforward negated meaning 'not cluttered'.

Etymology

Uncluttered comes from un- meaning 'not' and clutter meaning 'a messy pile of things', so something uncluttered is 'not messy' — tidy, simple, and free of extra items.
