Morphology
ineliminable = eliminable (semi-transparent) = in + elimin + able
The negative prefix 'in-' straightforwardly gives the meaning 'not eliminable'.
Etymology
The word ineliminable is made from the prefix in- 'not' and the verb eliminate 'to remove', so it means something you cannot remove or avoid.
