Morphology

uncontroverted = controverted (transparent) = un + controvert + ed

The adjective is formed by negating the past-participle 'controverted' with the productive prefix 'un-', yielding 'not disputed'.

Etymology

Uncontroverted starts with un- meaning 'not' and the main part controvert, which you can think of as 'turn against' (you also see this in controversy). So, something uncontroverted has not been 'turned against' or argued and is accepted as true.
