Morphology
irrebuttable = rebuttable (transparent) = ir + rebut + able
Formed by regular negative prefix 'ir-' + the adjective 'rebuttable' (rebut + -able), so the negated meaning is directly derivable.
Etymology
The word irrebuttable starts with ir- meaning 'not' and comes from rebut meaning 'to push back' or 'argue against', so it means something you cannot 'push back' or 'prove wrong'.
