Root Explanation

Indiscoverable is formed from "in-" (meaning not), "discover" (from Latin "discooperire", meaning to uncover or reveal), and "-able" (meaning capable of). The word describes something that is not capable of being uncovered or revealed.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'not' ('in-') able to be 'uncovered' ('discover') — that's why indiscoverable means it cannot be revealed.
