Morphology
incomparable = comparable (semi-transparent) = in + compare + able
The negative prefix 'in-' attaches straightforwardly to 'comparable' to give the meaning 'not comparable'.
Etymology
Incomparable starts with in- meaning 'not' and has compare in it, which you can think of as 'to pair' or 'put side by side' to see if two things match. So, incomparable means 'not able to be paired' — that is, so special or so excellent that it has no equal.
