Morphology

uncurled = uncurl (transparent) = un + curl + ed

Formed by adding the adjectival/past-participial suffix '-ed' to the verb 'uncurl', which itself is a transparent negation of 'curl' (un- + curl).

Etymology

Uncurled is formed from the prefix un- meaning 'not' and curl, which means 'to twist' and you can see it in the word curly. So uncurled simply means 'not curled' or 'opened out', like hair or a ribbon left straight.
