Root Explanation

Irrefragability → It is formed from "in-" (meaning not), "refragari" (meaning to refute or oppose), and "-ility" (meaning the state or quality of). The word describes the quality of being impossible to refute or oppose.

Memory Tip

Think of something that cannot be 'refuted' ('refragari') — the 'in-' means not, so irrefragability means the state of being not able to be opposed.
