Morphology

uncooled = cooled (transparent) = un + cool + ed

The meaning is directly derived from 'cooled' with the prefix 'un-' indicating negation.

Etymology

Uncooled is made of the part un- meaning 'not' and cool meaning 'cold' or 'to make cold'. So uncooled simply means 'not cooled' or without a cooling system, used for devices or sensors that work without extra cooling.
