Root Explanation

Uncompromisable → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not), "compromise" (from Latin "compromissum", meaning a mutual promise or agreement), and "-able" (meaning capable of). The word means not capable of being agreed upon or settled through compromise.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being able to reach a 'mutual agreement' ('compromise') — that's why uncompromisable means something that cannot be settled.
