Morphology
underpriced = underprice (transparent) = under + price + ed
The meaning follows directly from 'under' (too little) + 'price' with the adjectival/past participle '-ed' forming 'priced too low'.
Etymology
Underpriced comes from the parts under ('below') and price ('cost' or 'worth'). So something underpriced is sold for less than it is really worth, which is why people see it as a bargain.
