Morphology

undetailed = detailed (transparent) = un + detail + ed

The negation prefix 'un-' is directly applied to the adjective 'detailed', yielding the straightforward meaning 'not detailed'.

Etymology

Undetailed starts with un- meaning 'not' and the rest comes from detailed, from detail, which once meant a 'small, cut piece' and now means a small part of information. So undetailed means 'not giving small parts' or 'missing specific information', which is why undetailed instructions leave you unsure what to do.
