Morphology

undistinguishable = distinguishable (transparent) = un + distinguish + able

The word 'undistinguishable' is transparently derived from 'distinguishable' by adding the prefix 'un-', meaning 'not'.

Etymology

Undistinguishable is made from un- 'not' and distinguish 'to tell apart', a bit like the word distinct. So it means something you cannot tell apart from something else.
