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 formed from un- 'not' and interpret 'to explain or give meaning', the same idea you see in an interpreter. That's why in logic, code, or a model an uninterpreted symbol or function is one that is 'not given a specific meaning' until someone defines it.
