Morphology
uninvented = invented (transparent) = un + invent + ed
Direct negation of 'invented' used in the sense 'created'; 'uninvented' = 'not yet created' is straightforward for learners.
Etymology
Uninvented combines un- ('not') and invented, where invent means 'to create', as in inventor or invention. So uninvented can mean 'not yet created' — things, ideas, or devices that do not exist now but could be made in the future.
