Etymology Origin:
The word invulnerable originates from Latin invulnerabilis, combining in- (negation) + vulnerare (to wound) + -abilis (ability). It reflects the idea of being "incapable of being wounded," evolving into its modern sense of immunity to physical or emotional harm. The root vulner also appears in vulnerable (opposite meaning) and vulnus (Latin for "wound").
