Did you hear about that new product they launched?

Yeah, I heard it’s supposed to be insolubilized for better performance.

Root Explanation

Insolubilized → It is formed from "in-" (meaning not) and "solubilis" (from Latin, meaning able to be dissolved) and the suffix "-ized" (meaning to make or become). The word means to make something not able to be dissolved.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('in-') being combined with 'able to be dissolved' ('solubilis') — that's why 'insolubilized' means something that cannot be dissolved.
