Surface Forms

unstoppable positive

Morphology

unstoppable = stoppable (transparent) = un + stopp + able

The word is formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to 'stoppable', so the meaning is directly predictable.

Etymology

Unstoppable is made of three parts: un- meaning 'not', stop meaning 'to end', and -able meaning 'can'. So unstoppable means 'not able to be stopped', which is why we use it for something you cannot stop.
