Morphology
undestroyable = destroyable (transparent) = un + destroy + able
Formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to 'destroyable' (destroy + -able), yielding 'not able to be destroyed', a regular, predictable formation.
Etymology
The word undestroyable breaks into un- 'not', as in unhappy, destroy 'to break completely', and -able 'able to be'. So, undestroyable means 'not able to be destroyed', like a fortress or shield that cannot be broken.
