Morphology
uncontestable = contestable (transparent) = un + contest + able
The adjective 'contestable' clearly means 'able to be contested', and adding 'un-' straightforwardly negates that meaning.
Etymology
The word uncontestable breaks into un- 'not', contest 'an argument or competition', and -able 'can be', so it means 'not able to be argued'. A helpful image is a fact so strong that no one can win a contest against it.
