Morphology

uncontrolled = controlled (transparent) = un + control + ed

Formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to the adjective 'controlled', yielding a straightforward negation.

Etymology

The word uncontrolled breaks into un- meaning 'not' and control meaning 'to hold or guide'. So uncontrolled is 'not held' or 'not guided', which is why we use it for things like sudden anger, a fire that spreads, or loud laughter.
