Morphology
uncomplicated = complicated (transparent) = un + complicate + ed
The word is transparently formed by adding the prefix 'un-' to 'complicated', indicating the opposite meaning.
Etymology
The word uncomplicated is made of un- 'not' and complicated, which comes from an old root plicare meaning 'to fold'. Think of something complicated as many folds or layers that make it hard, so if it is uncomplicated it has no folds and is easy to understand.
