Morphology
undealt = dealt (transparent) = un + dealt
The adjective is formed by negating 'dealt' (i.e., not handled or addressed); this is a straightforward use of 'un-' for learners familiar with 'deal/dealt'.
Etymology
The word undealt comes from the parts un- 'not' and deal 'to handle' or 'to deal with'. Think of a pile of papers or problems no one has touched; undealt issues are those 'not handled' or 'not solved' yet.
