Root Explanation

Incomparability → It is formed from "in-" (meaning not), "com-" (meaning together), "parare" (meaning to equal or prepare), and "-ability" (meaning the quality of being). The word describes the quality of not being equal or comparable to anything else.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('in-') being 'equal' ('parare') to anything else, which helps you remember that 'incomparability' means the quality of being unmatched or unique.
