Morphology

undeducted = deducted (transparent) = un + deduct + ed

Formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to 'deducted' (deduct + '-ed'), so the meaning 'not subtracted' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Undeducted begins with un- meaning 'not' and uses deduct, which means 'to take away'. So an undeducted expense was not taken away from the total, which is why it still counts for tax and can increase what you pay.
