Morphology
undiminishable = diminishable (transparent) = un + diminish + able
The negation prefix 'un-' is productively applied to 'diminishable' and yields the straightforward meaning 'not capable of being diminished'.
Etymology
Undiminishable is built from un- meaning 'not' and diminish meaning 'make smaller', the same idea you see in mini. So undiminishable means 'not able to be made smaller' or 'impossible to reduce', which is why we use it for something that keeps its full size, strength, or effect.
