Morphology

inseparable = separable (transparent) = in + separ + able

The negative prefix 'in-' attaches in a standard way to 'separable' to mean 'not able to be separated'.

Etymology

The word inseparable begins with in- meaning 'not' and the rest comes from separable, the same root as the common word separate, which means 'to separate'. So inseparable means 'cannot be separated'.
