Morphology
unconquerable = conquerable (transparent) = un + conquer + able
The adjective 'conquerable' is a regular derivation from 'conquer' + '-able', and adding the negative prefix 'un-' yields the expected negated meaning.
Etymology
Unconquerable breaks into un- 'not' and conquer 'to defeat', where conquer means to win over a person, people, or place. That's why something unconquerable cannot be defeated or overcome, like a fortress that never falls.
