Morphology

uncracked = cracked (transparent) = un + crack + ed

Formed by the productive prefix 'un-' added to the participial adjective 'cracked' meaning 'broken', so the meaning 'not broken' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Uncracked comes from un- meaning 'not' and crack meaning 'a break or split'. So uncracked means 'not broken' or 'without cracks', like an egg or vase that has no cracks.
