Morphology
uncompartmented = compartmented (transparent) = un + compartment + ed
The immediate base 'compartmented' (compartment + -ed) clearly means 'divided into compartments', so adding 'un-' yields the straightforward negation 'not divided into compartments'.
Etymology
Uncompartmented is made from un- meaning 'not' and compartment, a word that carries the idea of a small 'part' or box, so it literally means 'not divided into parts'. Think of a room or container with no walls or boxes inside — open and easy to use.
