Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'unbreakable' (cannot be broken) + 'friendship' (relationship), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer a bond that cannot be easily destroyed. This modifier + noun pattern is transparent and cross-linguistically common, making the phrase readily comprehensible without prior exposure.
Etymology
Unbreakable friendship uses a simple image: imagine two people tied together by a very strong rope or chain that cannot be broken. So, it means 'a strong and lasting bond' that cannot be easily destroyed.
