Morphology
unbudgeable = budgeable (transparent) = un + budge + able
The prefix 'un-' clearly negates the meaning of 'budgeable', forming a transparent adjective.
Etymology
Unbudgeable is made from un- (meaning 'not'), budge (a common verb meaning 'move'), and -able (meaning 'able to'). So, unbudgeable describes something or someone who cannot be moved or changed.
