Morphology

indisputable = disputable (transparent) = in + dispute + able

The adjective is formed in a regular way from 'disputable' with negative 'in-' meaning 'not open to dispute'.

Etymology

Indisputable is made of in- meaning 'not' and dispute meaning 'to argue' or 'question'. So, if something is indisputable, it is 'not able to be argued', which is why it means certain and clearly true.
