Definition

Something that cannot be achieved or made real.

Example

The project was deemed unrealizable due to its high costs and complexity.

Conversation

I have this idea for a project, but I think it might be unrealizable.

What do you mean? Is it too ambitious?

Yeah, it feels like there are too many obstacles to make it happen.

Sometimes, it's better to scale back and focus on what's achievable.

Root Explanation

Unrealizable → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not), "real" (from Latin "realis", meaning actual or true), and "-izable" (from Latin "-izabilis", meaning capable of being). The word "unrealizable" means not capable of being made real or actual.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to something 'true' ('real') and 'capable of being' ('-izable'). This helps you remember that 'unrealizable' refers to something that cannot be made real.
