Morphology
unquestionable = questionable (transparent) = un + question + able
Formed by attaching the negative prefix 'un-' to 'questionable', yielding a clear meaning 'not open to question'; this straightforward negation applies to authenticity sense as well.
Etymology
Unquestionable comes from un- 'not', question 'ask', and -able 'able to'. A helpful way to remember the second sense is to think of very strong proof that no one can 'ask' about, so the thing is clearly genuine and authentic.
