Morphology

uninvested = invested (transparent) = un + invest + ed

The meaning 'not having money, effort, or emotional commitment put into something' is directly derived from negating the adjectival/past-participle 'invested'.

Etymology

Uninvested also uses the modern sense of invest meaning 'to put in' money, time, or care. So if someone is uninvested in something, they have not put money, effort, or emotional commitment into it.
