Morphology

unexploitable = exploitable (transparent) = un + exploit + able

The adjective is formed by straightforward prefixation of productive negating 'un-' to 'exploitable', a transparent negation of the base meaning.

Etymology

Unexploitable is made of un- 'not', exploit 'to use or take advantage of', and -able 'can be', so it means something 'that cannot be used or taken unfairly by others'.
