Morphology
undoubtable = doubtable (transparent) = un + doubt + able
The word is clearly derived from 'doubtable' with the prefix 'un-' indicating negation.
Etymology
Undoubtable is made from un- 'not' and doubt 'to be unsure', so it literally means 'not able to be doubted' and is used to say something is certain or unquestionable.
