Root Explanation

Unclubbable is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "club" (from Old French *clube*, meaning a group or association) and "-able" (meaning capable of). The word describes someone who is not capable of being part of a club or social group.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who is 'not' ('un-') able to join a 'group' ('club') — that's why unclubbable means not able to be part of a club.
