Morphology

unimpeachable = impeachable (transparent) = un + impeach + able

Formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to 'impeachable' (impeach + -able); the negation of 'able to be impeached' directly yields 'not able to be doubted or criticized'.

Etymology

The word unimpeachable breaks into un- meaning 'not', the verb impeach meaning 'to accuse', and -able meaning 'able', so it literally means 'not able to be accused'. That is why unimpeachable describes someone or something so honest or reliable that no one can doubt or criticize it.
