Morphology

innascible = in + nasc + ible

Although 'in-' (not) and '-ible' are productive, the root 'nasc' is a rare Latin combining form not a recognizable English base, so learners cannot reliably infer the meaning from components.

Etymology

Innascible comes from Latin parts in- ('not') and nascere ('to be born'). Think of familiar words like nascent or natal, which are about birth, so innascible means 'not able to be born' or 'cannot be created'.
