Morphology
incommutable = commutable (semi-transparent) = in + commute + able
From 'commutable', the prefix 'in-' straightforwardly adds negation.
Etymology
Incommutable is made of in- meaning 'not' and the root mut meaning 'change', the same root you see in mutate. So incommutable describes something that cannot be changed or replaced.
