Morphology

ununiformed = uniform (semi-transparent) = un + uniform + ed

Although the negative prefix 'un-' and base 'uniform' are visible, the overall form 'ununiformed' is nonstandard and the extra '-ed' makes the intended meaning ('not uniform') unclear to learners.

Etymology

Ununiformed breaks into un- 'not' and uniform, which comes from uni- 'one' and form 'shape', so it gives the image of something that is not the same all over. That's why ununiformed means 'not uniform' or uneven in look or quality.
