Morphology

uncredited = credited (transparent) = un + credit + ed

The word 'uncredited' is clearly derived from 'credited' with the prefix 'un-' indicating the negation of being credited.

Etymology

Uncredited begins with un- meaning 'not' and credit, which in English means 'public recognition' like the list of names at the end of a film. So uncredited describes someone whose name was 'not given in the credits'.
