Morphology

unrememberable = rememberable (transparent) = un + remember + able

Formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to the adjective 'rememberable' (remember + -able); the negated meaning is compositionally predictable.

Etymology

Unrememberable is built from un- ('not'), remember ('to keep in mind') and -able ('can be'), so it literally means 'not able to be remembered'. That's why unrememberable describes something so plain or forgettable that you cannot remember it.
