Morphology
unanalyzable = analyzable (transparent) = un + analyze + able
Formed by adding the productive negative prefix 'un-' to 'analyzable'; the negated meaning is directly predictable from the base.
Etymology
Unanalyzable is made of un- meaning 'not', the verb analyze meaning 'to break into parts', and the ending -able meaning 'can'. So, unanalyzable means 'not able to be broken into parts', which helps you remember it describes things too complex to study or divide.
