Morphology

uninterpreted = interpreted (transparent) = un + interpret + ed

The adjective is formed by negating the past-participle/adjective 'interpreted' with the productive prefix 'un-', a straightforward negation.

Etymology

Uninterpreted is made of un- 'not' and interpret 'to explain or give meaning', just like an interpreter who explains speech. So uninterpreted means 'not explained' or left in its original, raw form, like ancient symbols that no one has given a meaning to.
