Morphology
underseen = seen (transparent) = under + seen
Formed by productive 'under-' (insufficiently) + 'seen' to mean 'not seen enough', which is directly inferable by learners.
Etymology
The word underseen is made of under- meaning 'not enough' and seen meaning 'noticed'. Think of it like undersold: it exists but few people have watched or noticed it, so it means 'little known' or 'rarely viewed'.
