Morphology
uncrystallized = crystallized (transparent) = un + crystall + ize + ed
The word is transparently formed by adding the prefix 'un-' to 'crystallized', meaning not crystallized.
Etymology
Uncrystallized joins un- ('not') and crystal ('clear, hard shape'). Think of a plan or idea that has not yet become solid and clear — it is still loose and changeable, so it is 'uncrystallized'.
