Morphology

unsplittable = splittable (transparent) = un + split + able

Formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to 'splittable' (split + -able), yielding 'not able to be split' which is directly derivable.

Etymology

Unsplittable is made from un- meaning 'not', split meaning 'to break into parts', and -able meaning 'able to'. So something unsplittable is 'not able to be split', which is why it describes things you cannot divide into separate parts.
