Root Explanation

Indomitably is formed from "in-" (meaning not) and "domitare" (meaning to tame or subdue) and the suffix "-ly" (meaning in a manner). The word describes an unyielding manner that cannot be tamed or subdued.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' being able to be 'tamed' — that's why indomitably means acting in a way that cannot be subdued.
