Morphology
inequitable = equitable (semi-transparent) = in + equit + able
The prefix 'in-' straightforwardly negates 'equitable', yielding the clear meaning 'not fair or impartial'.
Etymology
The word inequitable is made of the part in- meaning 'not' and a part meaning 'equal', the same idea you see in equal or equity, so it literally means 'not equal' and that is why it means 'unfair'.
