The team faced an irresoluble problem that left them frustrated.

Conversation

I can't believe how many arguments we had about that project.

Yeah, it felt like we were facing an irresoluble issue every time we discussed it.

It's frustrating when we can't find a way to agree.

Totally, sometimes it seems like some conflicts are just meant to stay unresolved.

Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Irresoluble → It is formed from "in-" (meaning not) and "resolubilis" (from Latin, meaning able to be resolved or loosened). The word "irresoluble" means not able to be resolved or loosened, indicating a state of uncertainty or indecision.

Memory Tip

Think of something that cannot be 'resolved' ('resolubilis') — the 'in-' prefix means 'not', so 'irresoluble' describes a situation that remains unresolved.
