Derived from the native English prefix un- meaning 'not', combined with the Middle English verb changen (from Old French changier, from Late Latin cambiare), and the suffix -able (from Latin -abilis). The compound has been used since the late 14th century to denote a state or quality that is permanently fixed and impossible to alter.
