Morphology
unconformable = conformable (transparent) = un + conform + able
The adjective is formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to 'conformable' (conform + -able); the meaning 'not conforming' is directly inferable.
Etymology
The word unconformable breaks into un- meaning 'not' and conform, which comes from form meaning 'shape' or 'way'. So unconformable means 'not fitting the same shape' or 'not agreeing', which is why we use it for ideas or plans that do not match rules or the usual way.
