Morphology

uninjected = injected (transparent) = un + inject + ed

Formed by productive prefix 'un-' applied to the participial adjective 'injected' (inject + -ed), giving 'not having received an injection'.

Etymology

Uninjected is made from un- 'not' and inject 'to put in' and is related to words like eject 'throw out', so it simply means 'not given an injection' or 'not having something put into it'.
