Root Explanation

Immemorially → It is formed from "in-" (meaning not) and "memorialis" (from Latin "memoria", meaning memory). The word refers to something that is so old that it cannot be remembered, or beyond memory.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'not' ('in-') within 'memory' ('memoria') — that's why immemorially refers to a time so distant that it is beyond memory.
