Root Explanation

Unquestionably → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "question" (from Latin "quaestio", meaning inquiry or doubt) and the suffix "-ably" (meaning in a manner). The word means in a manner that is not open to inquiry or doubt.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') allowing for any 'inquiry' ('question') — that's why 'unquestionably' means something is certain.
