Morphology
uncopyrighted = copyrighted (transparent) = un + copy + right + ed
The adjective 'copyrighted' (having copyright protection) is directly negated by the productive prefix 'un-' to mean 'not protected by copyright'.
Etymology
The word uncopyrighted is made from the prefix un- meaning 'not' and copyright, which literally means the 'right to copy' a work. So uncopyrighted means something is not protected by that 'right to copy' and is often free for anyone to use.
