Morphology

uncried = cried (transparent) = un + cry + ed

The meaning 'not called out' is directly derived by prefixing un- to 'cried' (from 'cry' meaning 'call out'), so learners who know 'cry' and 'un-' can infer it.

Etymology

Uncried is built from un- 'not' and cry 'to call out', like a town crier who shouts news aloud. So if a name or warning is uncried it was not announced or called out.
