Morphology

unarguably = unarguable (transparent) = un + argue + able + ly

Forming an adverb with '-ly' from the clear adjective 'unarguable' is a standard, directly inferable process for learners.

Etymology

The word unarguably is built from un- 'not', argue 'to give reasons or debate', and -ably 'in a way that can be'. So, it literally means 'not able to be argued', which is why we use it to say something is 'undeniably' true.
