Conversation

I was thinking about that decision we made last week.

Yeah, it felt like we had to be sure about it.

I just hope we don’t regret the irrevocableness of our choice later on.

I understand, but sometimes you have to take risks to move forward.

Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Irrevocableness → It is formed from "in-" (meaning not), "revocare" (meaning to call back or revoke), and "-ness" (meaning the state of being). The word describes the state of being unable to be called back or revoked.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('in-') being able to 'call back' ('revocare') something, which is why 'irrevocableness' means it cannot be undone.
