unredirectable
|un-re-di-rect-a-ble|
/ˌʌnriːdɪˈrɛktəbəl/
cannot be redirected
Etymology
'unredirectable' originates from modern English, specifically formed from the negative prefix 'un-' (from Old English 'un-' meaning 'not'), the verb 'redirect' (re- + 'direct'), and the adjectival suffix '-able' (from Old French/Latin '-able' meaning 'able to be').
'redirect' developed from the prefix 're-' (Latin 're-' meaning 'again') combined with 'direct', which comes from Latin 'directus' via Old French/Middle English; the negative prefix 'un-' is Old English; the full compound 'unredirectable' is a modern English formation combining these elements.
Initially the parts meant 'not' + 'to direct again' + 'able to be'; over time the composite came to mean specifically 'not able to be redirected' in contexts such as web routing or message forwarding.
