irremeabilis
Latin
Etymology
From in- (“not, un-”) + remeō (“I return”) + -bilis (“-able”). May be interpreted as in- + remeābilis, but the latter is attested significantly later than, and may well be a back-formation from, this prefixed adjective. (This is not altogether unlikely, considering that irremeābilis first features in one of the most famous passages of Vergil's Aeneid.)
