Morphology
uncowed = cowed (transparent) = un + cow + ed
The adjective 'cowed' means 'intimidated' and the negative prefix 'un-' yields the straightforward meaning 'not intimidated'.
Etymology
The word uncowed comes from the verb cow 'to frighten' and the part un- meaning 'not', and cow is like cower, which means to crouch in fear. So uncowed means 'not frightened' and describes someone who stays brave and confident in a hard situation.
