Morphology
uninspected = inspected (transparent) = un + inspect + ed
Standard negation 'un-' applied to 'inspected' yields 'not inspected', which is directly inferable.
Etymology
Uninspected is made of un- meaning 'not' and inspect meaning 'to look closely'. So, something uninspected is 'not looked at' or checked, which helps you remember it has not been examined for safety or quality.
