Morphology
inexpugnable = expugnable (semi-transparent) = in + expugn + able
Adding the negative prefix 'in-' to 'expugnable' is a regular and predictable negation, so the immediate derivation is clear.
Etymology
The word inexpugnable comes from two parts: in- 'not' and pugn 'to fight'. So something inexpugnable cannot be beaten by attack or argument and is 'impossible to overcome'.
