Did you see that old statue in the park?

Yeah, it looks completely unmovable after all these years!

I wonder how they managed to keep it so stable.

Root Explanation

Unmovable → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "movable" (from Latin "movere", meaning to move). The word "unmovable" means not able to be moved or fixed in place.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'not' ('un-') able to be 'moved' ('movere') — that's why unmovable means it cannot be moved.
