Morphology
undiscovered = discovered (transparent) = un + discover + ed
A standard negation prefix 'un-' added to the adjectival past participle 'discovered', giving a directly derived meaning 'not found'.
Etymology
Undiscovered is un- 'not' plus discover, a word that once meant 'to take the cover away', like the simple word cover. So something undiscovered is still 'covered' or hidden and has not yet been found.
