Morphology
undesignated = designated (transparent) = un + designate + ed
The adjective is formed by negating 'designated' with the productive prefix 'un-', so the meaning is a straightforward negation.
Etymology
The word undesignated is made of un- 'not' and designate, which comes from a root meaning 'to mark', the same idea you see in the word sign. So undesignated means 'not marked' or not given a specific name, place, or purpose.
