Morphology
uncommented = commented (transparent) = un + comment + ed
The negative is formed by 'un-' + the participial/adjectival 'commented'; the meaning 'not remarked on' is directly recoverable.
Etymology
Uncommented is made from un- 'not' and comment 'a remark', so it describes something left 'without a remark' or not discussed. That's why an uncommented report or suggestion gets no public response.
