Did you hear about that treasure they found?

Yeah, but I heard the rest is undiscoverable now.

That's so frustrating! I wonder what else might be hidden.

Root Explanation

Undiscoverable → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not), "discover" (from Latin "discooperire", meaning to uncover or reveal), and "-able" (meaning capable of). The word "undiscoverable" means not capable of being uncovered or revealed.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to 'discover' which means to uncover something, and the '-able' indicates it can't be done. This helps you remember that 'undiscoverable' refers to something that cannot be uncovered.
