Root Explanation

Indefinable → It is formed from "in-" (meaning not), "definire" (from Latin, meaning to define), and "-able" (meaning capable of). The word "indefinable" means not capable of being defined or described clearly.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('in-') being able to 'define' something ('definire') — that's why indefinable means something that cannot be clearly defined.
