Did you hear about the new app they released?

Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Uncheckable → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "check" (from Old English *cecan*, meaning to examine or verify) and "-able" (meaning capable of). The word "uncheckable" means not capable of being examined or verified.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to 'check' which means to examine, and '-able' means capable. So, uncheckable means something that cannot be examined.
