Root Explanation

Nondepletable → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "depletable" (from "deplete" which comes from Latin "deplere", meaning to empty or drain). The word "nondepletable" means not able to be emptied or drained, indicating a resource that cannot be depleted.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('non-') being combined with 'draining' ('depletable') to remember that 'nondepletable' refers to something that cannot be drained or used up.
