Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Invaluably → It is formed from "in-" (meaning not) and "valuable" (from Latin "valere", meaning to be strong or worth). The suffix "-ly" (meaning in a manner of) indicates the manner of being not valuable, but in this context, it conveys the idea of something being priceless or beyond value. Thus, 'invaluably' means in a manner that is beyond value or priceless.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('in-') being combined with 'valuable' — this helps you remember that 'invaluably' means something is so precious that it cannot be measured in terms of value.
