Morphology

uncoverable = uncover (transparent) = un + cover + able

Formed from the verb 'uncover' (reveal) plus productive suffix '-able', so the meaning 'able to be revealed' is directly derived.

Etymology

Uncoverable is made from un- 'not', cover 'to put over', and -able 'can be'. In this sense it means 'able to be uncovered' — something that 'can be found' or 'revealed', so it's used for things people can discover.
