Morphology

undeniably = undeniable (transparent) = un + deny + able + ly

Formed from 'deny' -> 'deniable' with negation 'un-' and the adverbial '-ly', so the meaning 'in a way that cannot be denied' is directly derived.

Etymology

Undeniably is made of un- 'not', deny 'to say no', -able 'can be', and -ly 'in this way'. So, undeniably means 'cannot be denied' and is used when something is clearly true.
