I was studying for my math test and noticed something interesting.

Oh really? What did you find out?

Root Explanation

Indivisible → It is formed from "in-" (meaning not) and "dividere" (meaning to divide). The word "indivisible" means not able to be divided or separated.

Memory Tip

Think of something that cannot be 'divided' ('dividere') — the 'in-' prefix means 'not', so 'indivisible' describes something that is not able to be divided.
