Morphology

uncounted = counted (transparent) = un + count + ed

The prefix 'un-' negates the past participle 'counted', making the meaning clear as 'not counted'.

Etymology

The word uncounted comes from the prefix un- meaning 'not' and the verb count meaning 'to find the number of things'. That's why uncounted literally means 'not counted' and is used when there are too many to count or when the exact number is unknown.
