Root Explanation

Insuperably → It is formed from "in-" (meaning not) and "superare" (meaning to overcome or surpass) and the suffix "-ably" (meaning in a manner). The word "insuperably" means in a manner that cannot be overcome or surpassed.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('in-') being able to 'overcome' ('superare') something — that's why insuperably means something that cannot be overcome.
