Have you thought about the infeasibility of our travel plans?

Yeah, it seems like a lot of things could go wrong.

Root Explanation

Infeasibility → It is formed from "in-" (meaning not), "feasible" (from Latin "facere", meaning to do or make), and "-ity" (meaning the state or condition of). The word "infeasibility" means the state of not being able to be done or made.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('in-') being combined with 'able to do' ('feasible') and the suffix that indicates a state ('-ity'). This helps you remember that infeasibility refers to something that cannot be accomplished.
