Root Explanation

Imperishable → It is formed from "in-" (meaning not) and "perire" (meaning to perish or die). The word "imperishable" means not subject to death or decay, indicating something that lasts forever or is eternal.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'not' ('in-') able to 'perish' — that's why imperishable means it cannot die or decay.
