Root Explanation

Unescapable → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "escapable" (from Latin "excapare", meaning to escape). The word means not able to be escaped or unavoidable.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being combined with 'able to escape' — that's why unescapable means something you cannot avoid.
