Root Explanation

Immutable → It is formed from "in-" (meaning not) and "mutabilis" (from Latin, meaning changeable). The word "immutable" means not able to be changed or unchangeable.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('in-') being able to 'change' ('mutabilis') — that's why immutable means something that cannot change.
