Root Explanation

Invisible → It is formed from "in-" (meaning not) and "visibilis" (from Latin, meaning able to be seen). The word "invisible" means not able to be seen.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('in-') being combined with 'able to be seen' ('visibilis') — that's why invisible means something that cannot be seen.
