Morphology

uncovered = covered (transparent) = un + cover + ed

The adjective is formed by negating the regular past-participial adjective 'covered' with the productive prefix 'un-', yielding the straightforward meaning 'not covered'.

Etymology

Uncovered is made of the prefix un- meaning 'not' and the word cover meaning 'to hide or protect'. So, to be uncovered is to be 'not covered', like when you lift a blanket and something becomes bare or exposed.
