Root Explanation

Indomitability is formed from "in-" (meaning not) and "domitare" (meaning to tame or subdue), along with the suffix "-ability" (meaning the quality of being). The word describes the quality of being unable to be tamed or subdued, reflecting a sense of resilience and strength.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' being able to be 'tamed' — that's what indomitability means, the quality of being unyielding and strong.
