Morphology

uncommented = commented (transparent) = un + comment + ed

The negative is formed by 'un-' + the participial/adjectival 'commented'; the meaning 'not provided with comments' is directly recoverable.

Etymology

Uncommented joins un- 'not' with comment 'a note or explanation', so it simply means 'without notes or explanations'. That's why uncommented instructions or code can be hard for others to follow.
