Morphology

unnumerable = numerable (transparent) = un + number + able

Formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to 'numerable' (number + -able), yielding an easily derivable meaning 'not able to be numbered'.

Etymology

Unnumerable combines the prefix un- ('not') with the root numer ('number'), the same root you see in number. So unnumerable means 'not able to be numbered', in other words 'too many to be counted'.
