Morphology

uninjured = injured (transparent) = un + injure + d

Formed by adding the productive negative prefix 'un-' to the adjective 'injured', yielding the straightforward meaning 'not harmed'.

Etymology

Uninjured combines un- 'not' and injured, which comes from an old word meaning 'hurt' and is the same root as injury. So, uninjured simply means 'not hurt'.
