Root Explanation

Unverifiable → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "verifiable" (from Latin "verificare", meaning to make true or confirm). The word "unverifiable" means not able to be confirmed or proven true.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to something that can be 'confirmed' ('verifiable') — that's why unverifiable means something that cannot be confirmed.
