Morphology
undiagnosable = diagnosable (transparent) = un + diagnose + able
Formed by adding the productive negative prefix 'un-' to the adjective 'diagnosable', directly negating its meaning.
Etymology
The word undiagnosable breaks into un- meaning 'not', diagnose meaning 'to identify a problem', and -able meaning 'can be done', so it literally means 'not able to be identified' and is used for illnesses or faults that cannot be found.
