Have you ever thought about the immutableness of certain traditions?

Yeah, it's interesting how some things never change over time.

Root Explanation

Immutableness is formed from "in-" (meaning not), "mutabilis" (from Latin, meaning changeable), and "-ness" (meaning the state of being). The word describes the state of being not changeable or unchangeable.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('in-') being able to 'change' ('mutabilis') — that's why immutableness means the state of being unchangeable.
