Morphology

uncoded = coded (transparent) = un + code + ed

The prefix 'un-' clearly negates the adjective 'coded', making the meaning straightforward.

Etymology

Uncoded is made from un- meaning 'not' and code meaning 'a system of signs or labels', like a secret or a computer code. So something uncoded is 'not put into a code' or not given the labels a computer needs, which is why software cannot read it.
