Imperturbable is formed from "im-" (meaning not) and "perturbare" (meaning to disturb). The word describes a state of being not disturbed or agitated, indicating calmness and composure under pressure.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who is 'not' ('im-') 'disturbed' ('perturbare') by chaos around them — that's why imperturbable means unshakably calm.
