Morphology

undebatable = debatable (transparent) = un + debate + able

Formed by negating the adjective 'debatable' with the productive prefix 'un-', giving the clear meaning 'not open to debate'.

Etymology

Undebatable is built from un- meaning 'not' and debate meaning 'to argue or discuss', so think 'not able to be argued'. That's why something undebatable is impossible to question or argue against.
