Morphology

untracked = tracked (semi-transparent) = un + track + ed

Morphologically formed by 'un-' + 'tracked' (track + -ed); the structure is regular though the usage is domain-specific.

Etymology

Untracked comes from un- 'not' and track 'to follow' or 'record'. In computing, in systems like Git, an untracked file is one the system is not following or recording, so it is not saved in the project's history until you add it.
