Morphology
undemonstrated = demonstrated (transparent) = un + demonstrate + ed
The prefix 'un-' straightforwardly negates the participle/adjective 'demonstrated' so the meaning 'not shown' is directly derivable.
Etymology
Undemonstrated comes from un- ('not') and demonstrate ('to show'). So if a person is undemonstrated about their feelings, they simply do not 'show' their emotions openly.
