Morphology

uncrowded = crowded (transparent) = un + crowd + ed

Clear negation formed by productive prefix 'un-' applied to the adjective 'crowded'.

Etymology

Uncrowded is made of un- 'not' plus crowd 'a group of people', so it literally means 'not full of people'. That's why uncrowded describes a place with plenty of space and few people.
