Root Explanation

Uncapturable → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "capturable" (from Latin "capere", meaning to seize or take). The word means something that cannot be seized or taken.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being able to 'seize' ('capere') something — that's why uncapturable means it cannot be taken.
