Root Explanation

Inestimably → It is formed from "in-" (meaning not) and "estimare" (meaning to value or assess) and the suffix "-ably" (meaning in a manner that can be). The word "inestimably" means in a manner that cannot be valued or assessed, indicating something of immeasurable worth.

Memory Tip

Think of something that cannot be 'valued' ('estimare') at all — the 'in-' means not, and '-ably' suggests the manner of doing something. This helps you remember that 'inestimably' refers to something that is beyond value.
