Morphology

uncorrelated = correlated (transparent) = un + correlate + ed

The negative prefix 'un-' is productively added to 'correlated' to yield the straightforward meaning 'not correlated'.

Etymology

Uncorrelated breaks into the prefix un-, meaning 'not', and correlate, which is like the familiar word relate and originally meant 'to link things together'. So, uncorrelated describes things that are 'not linked' and do not change or affect each other.
