Morphology

uncompromised = compromised (transparent) = un + compromise + ed

The adjective is formed by adding the productive negation 'un-' to the clear adjective 'compromised', yielding the straightforward meaning 'not compromised'.

Etymology

Uncompromised is made of un- meaning 'not' and compromised (from compromise) which means 'to give something up' or 'to become weaker in a deal'. So uncompromised describes something that has not been given away or weakened and stays safe and whole.
