Etymology
'noncamouflaged' originates from English, specifically the prefix 'non-' and the word 'camouflaged', where 'non-' meant 'not' and 'camouflaged' derives from French 'camoufler' meaning 'to disguise'.
'camouflaged' developed from French 'camoufler' (19th century) and the noun 'camouflage', itself influenced by Italian 'camuffare'; English adopted 'camouflage' and formed the past-participial adjective 'camouflaged', to which the English negative prefix 'non-' was attached to form 'noncamouflaged'.
Initially, the root 'camoufler' meant 'to disguise' or 'to conceal'; over time English formed 'camouflaged' meaning 'disguised', and 'noncamouflaged' now means 'not disguised' or 'not concealed'.
