UK: ɪnˈdɒmɪtəbl | US: ɪnˈdɑːmɪtəbl
adj. impossible to defeat or discourage; unconquerable
indomitable = in<not> + domit<tame> + able<capable of>
- in (prefix): From Latin in-, meaning "not."
- domit (root): From Latin domit- (stem of domitus), past participle of domare, meaning "to tame."
- able (suffix): From Latin -abilis, indicating capability.
Etymology Origin:
The word traces back to Latin indomitabilis, combining in- (negation) + domit- (tamed) + -abilis (ability). It originally described untamable animals, later extending metaphorically to human spirit or resolve. The core logic: "not (in) + tameable (domitable)" → "unconquerable."
