I think Peter Gregg used the termed first when he described what the 917 was made out of. The earliest reference I've ever heard used was from an engineer from Bell Helicopter, he said in the 50's when they were developing heli tech the artists down the hall would draw fanciful pictures and say "build this." He would answer, "I can't build that, it's Unobtanium!"
So it's a made up word that basically says something is so rare it's unable to be obtained, i.e. Unobtanium.
