Have you noticed the inaccessibility of the new park we talked about?

Yeah, it's frustrating that they didn’t consider everyone’s needs.

I wish they would make it more friendly for people with disabilities.

Root Explanation

Inaccessibility → It is formed from "in-" (meaning not), "access" (from Latin "accessus", meaning approach or entry), and "-ibility" (meaning the quality of being). The word "inaccessibility" means the quality of not being able to be approached or entered.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('in-') being able to 'approach' ('access') something, which helps you remember that 'inaccessibility' refers to something that cannot be reached.
