Etymology: "Unseverable" is a plain formation: the prefix "un-" joined to "severable," meaning cannot be separated. The prefix "un-" is an Old English negation that has been attached freely to adjectives throughout English's history, so it can turn almost any adjective into its opposite. "Severable" is itself built from "sever" plus the suffix "-able," which marks something capable of being done. "Sever" came into English through Anglo-Norman and Old French "severer," from Latin "separare," meaning "to separate," which is also the source of English "separate."
