Morphology
unassailably = unassailable (semi-transparent) = un + assail + able + ly
Formation from the adjective 'unassailable' to the adverb with '-ly' is a regular and fully predictable process.
Etymology
Unassailably breaks into parts: un- meaning 'not', assail meaning 'to attack' (like the common word assault), and -ably meaning 'in a way'. So, unassailably means 'in a way that cannot be attacked or doubted', which is why it means 'indisputably'.
