Morphology

uninterrogated = interrogated (transparent) = un + interrogate + ed

Clear prefixal negation of the past-participial form 'interrogated', yielding 'not questioned'.

Etymology

Uninterrogated is made from un- 'not' and interrogate 'to ask questions', like the word 'question'. So something uninterrogated is simply 'not asked about' or 'not checked'.
