The BFD Word of the Day

The word for today is…

indomitable (adjective):

: incapable of being subdued : unconquerable

Source : Merriam -Webster

Etymology : The prefix in- (spelled im- before b, m, and p) means “not” in an innumerable collection of English words. The common suffix -able means “capable of, fit for, or worthy of.” Combine those two English affixes with the Latin verb domitare (“to tame”), and voila: indomitable. Indomitable was first used in English as a synonym of wild, describing—appropriately enough—things that cannot be tamed, but over time the wildness associated with indomitable developed into a specific kind of invulnerable strength.
