Root Explanation

Unshakably → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "shakable" (from Old English "sceacan", meaning to move or tremble) and the suffix "-ly" (meaning in a manner). The word "unshakably" means in a manner that is not able to be moved or disturbed.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being able to 'move' ('shakable') — that's why unshakably means something that cannot be disturbed.
