Morphology
uncharted = charted (transparent) = un + chart + ed
The adjective 'charted' (mapped) is negated by the productive prefix 'un-', so 'uncharted' straightforwardly means 'not mapped or explored'.
Etymology
Uncharted comes from un- meaning 'not' and chart meaning 'map', so it literally means 'not on the map'. That's why we call places or situations uncharted when they are unknown or not yet explored.
