Morphology
unmistakably = unmistakable (transparent) = un + mistake + able + ly
Forming the adverb with '-ly' from the adjective 'unmistakable' is a regular and predictable change.
Etymology
The word unmistakably is made of un- 'not', mistake 'an error or to take something wrongly', and -ably 'in a way'. So, unmistakably means 'in a way that cannot be mistaken', or so clear you cannot be wrong.
