The word consists of the prefix 'un-' (not) and the adjective 'trennbar' (separable). 'Trennbar' comes from the verb 'trennen' (to separate). So something that is 'untrennbar' (inseparable) cannot be separated from something else.

'Untrennbar' (inseparable) is very commonly used in the fixed expressions 'untrennbar miteinander verbunden sein' (to be inseparably connected with each other) or 'untrennbar miteinander verknüpft sein' (to be inseparably linked with each other). This structure emphasizes the close relationship between two or more things.

The word is often used for abstract concepts that are closely related to each other. Typical pairs are: theory and practice, rights and duties, body and mind.

solvable / soluble
'untrennbar' and 'lösbar' can be opposites when talking about a connection. 'untrennbar' means that two things are so firmly connected that they cannot be separated. In this context, 'lösbar' means that a connection can be separated or loosened. There is a risk of confusion because 'lösbar' also often means that a solution can be found for a problem. That is a different use. When you are talking about a fixed connection, the contrast is clear: 'untrennbar' means not separable, while 'lösbar' means separable or detachable.
