Root Explanation

Inappeasable → It is formed from "in-" (meaning not), "appeasable" (from the verb "appease" which comes from Old French *apaisier*, meaning to calm or pacify, and the suffix "-able" meaning capable of). The word describes something that cannot be calmed or pacified.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('in-') being able to 'calm' ('appeasable') — that's why inappeasable means something that cannot be calmed.
