Morphology
undated = dated (transparent) = un + date + ed
The productive negative prefix 'un-' added to the adjective 'dated' yields the straightforward meaning 'not bearing a date'.
Etymology
Undated is built from un- meaning 'not' and date meaning 'a written day or time'. So an undated letter or photo is not marked with a date, which makes it hard to know when it was made.
