Root Explanation

Inenarrable → It is formed from "in-" (meaning not) and "narrabilis" (from Latin "narrari", meaning to tell or narrate) and the suffix "-able" (meaning capable of). The word describes something that is not capable of being told or narrated, often due to its overwhelming nature.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'not' ('in-') 'able' to be 'told' ('narrari') — that's why inenarrable means it cannot be narrated.
