Morphology

uncrippled = crippled (transparent) = un + cripple + ed

Formed by productive negative prefix 'un-' applied to the adjective 'crippled', yielding the straightforward negation 'not crippled'.

Etymology

The word uncrippled is built from un- meaning 'not' and cripple, an old word for someone who could not move well. So uncrippled means 'not disabled' or 'restored to normal function'.
