Morphology
unreviewable = reviewable (transparent) = un + review + able
The word is formed regularly from 'reviewable' with the negative prefix 'un-,' so the meaning follows directly.
Etymology
The word unreviewable breaks into un- 'not', review, which comes from re- 'again' and view 'look', and -able 'can'. So it literally means 'not able to be looked at again', which explains why it is used when a file or report cannot be examined because it is damaged, missing, or blocked by technology.
