Morphology

uncorrect = correct (semi-transparent) = un + correct

The intended sense 'not corrected' is close to a negated past-participial meaning but learners more commonly expect 'uncorrected'; the nonstandard/rare usage may cause partial confusion.

Etymology

Uncorrect comes from un- 'not' plus correct, which can mean 'to make right' or 'fix', so uncorrect means 'not fixed' or not yet changed and so still has errors.
