Morphology
unmistakable = mistakable (transparent) = un + mistake + able
The prefix 'un-' straightforwardly negates 'mistakable', yielding 'not able to be mistaken' which aligns with the given sense.
Etymology
Unmistakable breaks down simply: un- means 'not' and mistake means 'an error' or 'to get something wrong'. So, unmistakable means 'not able to be mistaken', that is, so clear or obvious you cannot confuse it with anything else.
