Morphology

undominated = dominated (semi-transparent) = un + dominate + ed

Formally 'un-' + 'dominated' is clear, but the sense here is a specialized technical meaning (game theory/economics) that a general learner may not infer from the components alone.

Etymology

The word undominated comes from the parts un- 'not' and dominate 'to rule' or 'to beat'. In games or choices, an undominated option is one that no other option 'beats' in every way, so it is not worse than any other option.
