Morphology
undoubted = doubted (transparent) = un + doubt + ed
The prefix 'un-' negates the adjective 'doubted', forming a clear meaning of 'not doubted'.
Etymology
The word undoubted is made of un- meaning 'not' and doubt meaning 'to be unsure'. That's why something 'undoubted' is 'not unsure' and is seen as 'completely certain'.
