Morphology

undeniable = deniable (transparent) = un + deny + able

The adjective is formed by adding un- to 'deniable' (deny + -able); the negation is a straightforward, productive morphological process.

Etymology

The word undeniable breaks into un- 'not', deny 'say no', and -able 'able to be', so it literally means 'not able to be said no'. So, something undeniable is so clear or true that people cannot say it is not true.
