Root Explanation

Insolubly → It is formed from "in-" (meaning not) and "solubilis" (from Latin, meaning able to be dissolved). The word "insolubly" means in a manner that cannot be dissolved or resolved.

Memory Tip

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