Surface Forms
Morphology
unforgivable = forgivable (transparent) = un + forgive + able
The word is clearly formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to 'forgivable' (forgive + -able), so its meaning is directly derivable from the base.
Etymology
Unforgivable begins with un-, which means 'not', and contains the familiar verb forgive, which means 'to give up' blame. So unforgivable is something you cannot 'give up' and therefore cannot be forgiven.
