Morphology
uncarbonated = carbonated (transparent) = un + carbon + ate + ed
Regular negation of 'carbonated' using the productive prefix 'un-', yielding a clear meaning 'not fizzy'.
Etymology
Uncarbonated starts with un- meaning 'not', and the rest comes from carbonate, which is related to carbon in 'carbon dioxide', the gas that makes drinks bubble. So uncarbonated means a drink without that gas, or 'not fizzy'.
