Morphology
undecided = decided (transparent) = un + decide + ed
Direct negation of the adjective 'decided' by the productive prefix 'un-', so the meaning is immediately predictable for learners.
Etymology
Undecided is made of the prefix un- 'not' and decide 'choose', so it literally means 'not chosen'. That's why undecided describes a person or situation that has not made a decision yet.
