Morphology
incompatible = compatible (transparent) = in + compat + ible
Adding the negative prefix 'in-' to 'compatible' straightforwardly yields the meaning 'not compatible'.
Etymology
Incompatible is formed from in- meaning 'not' and compatible meaning 'able to work or live together', so it describes things that cannot exist or function together without conflict.
