Morphology

uncored = cored (transparent) = un + core + ed

The prefix 'un-' straightforwardly negates the participial/adjectival 'cored' (core + -ed), so the meaning is directly inferable.

Etymology

Uncored comes from the prefix un- meaning 'not' and core, meaning the 'central part' like an apple core or a rock core. So uncored means 'not having the core removed', used for fruit or samples that still have their center inside.
