Morphology
unexplainable = explainable (transparent) = un + explain + able
The meaning is clearly derived by adding the prefix 'un-' to 'explainable', indicating the negation of the ability to be explained.
Etymology
Unexplainable breaks into un- 'not', explain 'make clear', and -able 'able to'. So, something unexplainable is like a locked box you cannot open — you cannot make it clear or find a reason for it.
