Morphology
uncried = cried (transparent) = un + cry + ed
The meaning 'not expressed by crying / not shed as tears' is directly derived by negating 'cried' (from 'cry' meaning 'shed tears') with the prefix 'un-'.
Etymology
Uncried is built from un- 'not' and cry 'to shed tears'. So uncried tears or feelings are those kept inside because no tears were shed.
