indiscoverable

/ˌɪndɪskˈʌvɚɹəbəl/ adj

Unable to be discovered, undiscoverable, not discoverable.

Word Origin From Latin dis- 'un-' and cooperire 'to cover' — literally 'not able to be uncovered.' Discover originally meant 'to reveal,' and indiscoverable means 'cannot be discovered.' The root operire 'to cover' gives us cover, coverage, uncover, and recover. The PIE root *wer- 'to cover' also gives us weir, warn, and guard. So indiscoverable is a great example of how 'covering' words can be stacked with prefixes to express hiddenness.
