Root Explanation

Indefectible is formed from "in-" (meaning not) and "defectibilis" (from Latin "deficere", meaning to fail or to lack). The word describes something that cannot fail or is incapable of defecting.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('in-') being able to 'fail' ('deficere') — that's why indefectible means something that cannot fail.
