Morphology

uninvented = invented (transparent) = un + invent + ed

A straightforward negation of 'invented' (meaning 'made up' or 'fabricated'), so learners who know 'invented' will understand 'not invented/fabricated'.

Etymology

Uninvented is formed from un- ('not') plus invented, with invent often meaning 'to make up' a story or idea, like in invention. So if an account is uninvented it is 'not made up' and is honest or real rather than a fabrication.
