Morphology

uncombined = combined (transparent) = un + combine + ed

The adjective 'combined' (joined) is directly negated by the productive prefix 'un-', yielding a straightforward 'not joined' meaning.

Etymology

Uncombined is built from the prefix un- meaning 'not' and the word combine meaning 'to bring together'. So something uncombined is 'not brought together' and stays separate from others.
