Morphology

unconcluded = concluded (transparent) = un + conclude + ed

The meaning is clearly derived from 'concluded' with the prefix 'un-' indicating negation.

Etymology

The word unconcluded breaks into un- meaning 'not' and conclude meaning 'to finish' or 'to close', like the common word close. So, unconcluded means 'not finished' or 'not brought to a final end'.
