Etymology: "Unabolishable" is a plain formation: the prefix "un-" attached to "abolishable," meaning able to be abolished. "Abolishable" itself comes from "abolish," which in turn traces back through Old French to the Latin "abolere," meaning to destroy or do away with. The adjective therefore sits at the end of a long chain of negation: something that cannot be done away with, stacked on a verb that already meant to wipe out. The result is a word built almost entirely from familiar parts, which is why it reads so transparently. Its usefulness lies in the pattern rather than in any single surprising turn: English speakers can attach "un-" to nearly any verb that takes "-able," producing a precise term for something that resists undoing or erasure.
