Morphology
unrelievable = relievable (transparent) = un + relieve + able
Formed by straightforward prefixation of 'un-' to 'relievable' (relieve + -able); the negated meaning is directly predictable from the base.
Etymology
The word unrelievable comes from un- 'not' and relieve 'to lift or make lighter', the same root as relief, so it describes pain or discomfort that cannot be eased or made less.
