Morphology

uneditable = editable (transparent) = un + edit + able

The negation 'un-' applied to 'editable' yields a straightforward opposite meaning.

Etymology

Uneditable starts with un- meaning 'not', has edit meaning 'to change' (as in an editor who fixes text), and ends with -able meaning 'can be'. So uneditable means 'not able to be changed by editing'.
