Root Explanation

Ineradicably → It is formed from "in-" (meaning not), "eradicabilis" (from Latin "eradicare", meaning to root out), and "-ly" (meaning in a manner). The word means in a manner that cannot be rooted out or removed.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('in-') being able to 'root out' ('eradicare') something — that's why 'ineradicably' means something that cannot be removed.
