Morphology
untradeable = tradeable (transparent) = un + trade + able
The adjective is formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to 'tradeable', producing the straightforward meaning 'not able to be traded'.
Etymology
Untradeable comes from the common word trade, which means 'to buy, sell, or exchange', plus the prefix un- meaning 'not'. So untradeable describes something you 'cannot buy or sell' or give to others.
