Root Explanation

Indomitable is formed from "in-" (meaning not) and "domitare" (meaning to tame or subdue). The word describes a spirit or will that cannot be tamed or subdued, hence representing an unyielding nature.

Memory Tip

Think of a spirit that is 'not' ('in-') able to be 'tamed' ('domitare') — that's why indomitable means impossible to subdue.
