Morphology

untampered = tampered (transparent) = un + tamper + ed

A productive negative prefix 'un-' is attached to the participial adjective 'tampered' to mean 'not tampered', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

The word untampered is made from the prefix un- meaning 'not' and the verb tamper meaning 'to mess with or change something'. So an untampered item has not been touched or changed, which is why we say a package or data arrived untampered when its seals or values are still whole.
