Do you think anyone is insusceptible to peer pressure?

Root Explanation

Insusceptible → It is formed from "in-" (meaning not) and "susceptibilis" (from Latin, meaning able to receive or susceptible). The word "insusceptible" means not able to be influenced or affected by something.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('in-') being able to be 'received' ('susceptibilis') — that's why insusceptible means not able to be influenced.
