Morphology
infrangible = frangible (semi-transparent) = in + frag + ible
The derivation is a straightforward negation of 'frangible' by the prefix 'in-'.
Etymology
Infrangible is built from in- ('not') and frangere ('to break'), sharing the root with fragile and fracture. So an infrangible right or rule is one you cannot break or take away and must be respected.
