Root Explanation

Invulnerability → It is formed from "in-" (meaning not) and "vulnerabilis" (from Latin "vulnerare", meaning to wound). The word describes a state of being not able to be wounded or harmed.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('in-') being able to be 'wounded' ('vulnerare') — that's why invulnerability means being unable to be harmed.
