Morphology

undepicted = depicted (transparent) = un + depict + ed

The adjective is formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to 'depicted' (depict + -ed), yielding a straightforward negation.

Etymology

Undepicted has un- ('not') plus depict ('to show' or 'to paint'), like in picture. So undepicted means 'not shown' or 'not painted', which is why we use it for something left out of a picture or image.
