Morphology

uncute = cute (transparent) = un + cute

Simple negation of 'cute' to indicate lack of attractiveness or charm; nothing idiomatic blocks direct inference.

Etymology

Uncute is simply un- 'not' plus cute 'attractive' or 'nice', so it literally means 'not cute' or lacking charm. That's why saying something is 'uncute' means it is noticeably unappealing.
