Morphology
uncontracted = contracted (transparent) = un + contract + ed
Formed by negation prefix 'un-' applied to 'contracted' (shortened), so the meaning is a direct negative of the base.
Etymology
Uncontracted is made of un- 'not' and contract 'to draw together', the same root as tractor, which pulls things. So an uncontracted form in writing or speech is not 'drawn together' or shortened, for example saying 'I am' instead of 'I'm'.
