Morphology
uncontacted = contacted (transparent) = un + contact + ed
Formed by prefixing 'un-' to 'contacted', yielding a regular negation meaning 'not contacted'.
Etymology
The word uncontacted is made of un- meaning 'not' and contact meaning 'touch or communication'. Think of a village that has never had a visitor or a letter and so has no contact with the outside world — that is what uncontacted people are.
