Morphology

unarguable = arguable (transparent) = un + argue + able

A straightforward negation: the productive prefix 'un-' applied to the adjective 'arguable' yields 'not arguable'.

Etymology

The word unarguable is built from un- ('not'), argue ('to give reasons'), and -able ('able to'). So something unarguable is 'not able to be argued', which is why it means impossible to deny.
