Morphology

uncured = cured (transparent) = un + cure + ed

The word is transparently derived from 'cured' with the prefix 'un-' indicating negation.

Etymology

Uncured comes from the parts un- 'not' and cure, which comes from a Latin word meaning 'to care for' or 'to heal' and is like the simple word care. So uncured literally means 'not cared for', and today it describes food or materials that have not been treated, preserved, or finished.
