Root Explanation

Incontestable → It is formed from "in-" (meaning not) and "contestare" (meaning to dispute or contest) and the suffix "-able" (meaning capable of). The word means not capable of being disputed or contested.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'not' ('in-') able to be 'disputed' ('contestare') — that's why incontestable means something that cannot be argued against.
