Morphology
uncharitable = charitable (transparent) = un + charitable
The meaning is clearly derived from the negation of 'charitable'.
Etymology
Uncharitable comes from un- which means 'not' and charity which means 'kindness' or 'help'. So, to call someone uncharitable is to say they are 'not' showing kindness — they are harsh, unfair, or quick to judge.
