Conversation

I tried to explain my idea to Jake, but he was completely inconvincible about it.

Really? I thought he would at least consider it.

Yeah, he just kept insisting that it wouldn't work, no matter what I said.

That's frustrating! Some people just refuse to listen.

Root Explanation

Inconvincible → It is formed from "in-" (meaning not) and "convincere" (meaning to conquer or overcome). The word describes something that cannot be overcome or conquered, hence, not convincible.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('in-') being able to 'overcome' ('convincere') something — that's why inconvincible means something that cannot be overcome.
