Did you hear about that rare skill they mentioned in class?

Yeah, they said it's really incommutable, right?

Exactly! It makes me wonder how people even develop such talents.

Root Explanation

Incommutable → It is formed from "in-" (meaning not) and "commutare" (meaning to exchange or interchange). The word describes something that cannot be exchanged or interchanged.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('in-') being able to 'exchange' ('commutare') something — that's why incommutable means something that cannot be exchanged.
