Root Explanation

Illimitability → It is formed from "il-" (meaning not), "limit" (from Latin "limitem", meaning boundary or limit), and "-ability" (meaning the quality of being able to). The word "illimitability" refers to the quality of being without limits or boundaries.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('il-') having a 'boundary' ('limit') and the 'ability' to be limitless. This helps you remember that illimitability means the quality of being without limits.
