Root Explanation

Unmeasurable → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "measurable" (from Latin "mensurabilis", meaning able to be measured, from "metiri", meaning to measure). The word "unmeasurable" means not able to be measured or beyond measurement.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to 'able to be measured' — that's why unmeasurable means something that cannot be measured.
