Morphology

uncorrected = corrected (transparent) = un + correct + ed

Standard negation 'un-' applied to the participial/adjectival form 'corrected' yields 'not corrected' in a straightforward way.

Etymology

Uncorrected comes from the prefix un- which means 'not' and the word correct which means 'made right'. So, something uncorrected is 'not made right' and still has errors or problems.
