Morphology

undisclosed = disclose (transparent) = un + disclose

The prefix 'un-' clearly negates the meaning of 'disclose', forming an adjective meaning 'not disclosed'.

Etymology

Undisclosed is made of un- ('not') and disclose ('to show' or 'open'), so imagine a box that is not opened. That's why undisclosed means 'kept secret' or 'not revealed'.
