Root Explanation

Incontestably → It is formed from "in-" (meaning not), "contest" (from Latin "contestari", meaning to dispute or challenge), and "-ably" (meaning in a manner that can be). The word means in a manner that cannot be disputed or challenged.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'not' ('in-') able to be 'disputed' ('contest') — that's why incontestably means something that cannot be challenged.
