Morphology

undemonstrated = demonstrated (transparent) = un + demonstrate + ed

The negative prefix 'un-' negates the participle 'demonstrated' meaning 'not shown or proven'; this is a direct and regular formation.

Etymology

Undemonstrated comes from un- ('not') and demonstrate ('to show' or 'to prove'). So if an idea or claim is undemonstrated, it means it has not been 'shown' or proved yet.
