Morphology
uncorrectable = correctable (transparent) = un + correct + able
Formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to 'correctable', yielding 'not capable of being corrected', which is directly inferable from the parts.
Etymology
Uncorrectable breaks into un- ('not'), correct ('to make right'), and -able ('able to'), so a helpful way to remember it is that it literally means 'not able to be made right'. That's why something described as uncorrectable cannot be fixed, changed, or controlled.
