Morphology
nonmeasurable = measurable (transparent) = non + measure + able
Formed by prefixing 'non-' to 'measurable' (measure + -able); the negation of an easily understood adjective is straightforward.
Etymology
Nonmeasurable breaks into non- ('not'), measure ('to find the size of something'), and -able ('able'). So nonmeasurable means 'not able to be measured', like kindness or friendship that you feel but cannot put a number on.
