Morphology
indomitable = domitable (semi-transparent) = in + domit + able
The prefix 'in-' negates 'domitable', but the root 'domit' is not a standalone English word, which may confuse learners.
Etymology
The word indomitable comes from the Latin parts in- meaning 'not' and domare meaning 'to tame' or 'to control', the same root you see in dominate. So someone indomitable cannot be 'tamed' or 'beaten', which is why the word describes a person or spirit that will not give up.
