Morphology

uncomeatable = comeatable (opaque) = un + come + eat + able

The prefix 'un-' negates 'comeatable', but the archaic use and the blend with 'eat' make it non-transparent.

Etymology

The word uncomeatable comes from the parts un- 'not', come 'to reach', and -able 'able to be'. So it once meant 'not able to be reached', which is why it describes something hard to reach or get.
