Morphology

unconcealable = concealable (transparent) = un + conceal + able

Adding the productive negation 'un-' to 'concealable' yields a direct negation; 'concealable' itself is transparently 'conceal' + '-able'.

Etymology

Unconcealable breaks into three parts: un- ('not'), conceal ('to hide') and -able ('able to be'). So, something unconcealable cannot be hidden and everyone can see it.
