Morphology

unreportable = reportable (transparent) = un + report + able

Formed by adding the productive negating prefix 'un-' to the adjective 'reportable'; meaning is directly the negation of 'reportable'.

Etymology

Unreportable breaks into un- 'not', report 'to tell or write information', and -able 'able to be', the same -able you see in readable. So, unreportable means 'not able or not required to be reported', which is why it describes income or information that does not need to be shown to the authorities.
