Root Explanation

Inestimable → It is formed from "in-" (meaning not) and "estimare" (meaning to estimate or value). The word "inestimable" means something that cannot be estimated or valued, indicating its immeasurable worth.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'not' ('in-') able to be 'valued' ('estimare') — that's why inestimable refers to something of immeasurable worth.
