Root Explanation

Immitigably is formed from "in-" (meaning not) and "mitigare" (meaning to soften or alleviate) and the suffix "-ably" (meaning in a manner). The word describes a state that cannot be softened or alleviated, indicating something that is unyielding or relentless.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not softening' ('in-' means not and 'mitigare' means to soften) to remember that 'immitigably' refers to something that cannot be made less severe.
