Morphology

unexchangeable = exchangeable (transparent) = un + exchange + able

Derived by prefixing 'un-' to the adjective 'exchangeable' (exchange + -able); the negation is regular and directly inferable.

Etymology

The word unexchangeable is made from un- ('not'), exchange ('to give and get back', like 'swap' or 'change'), and -able ('possible'). So, unexchangeable means something you cannot swap or return.
