“Invincible” (in-VIN-suh-bul) – from the Latin – means incapable of being conquered, defeated, or subdued.
Example (as used by Edward Gibbon): “My early and invincible love of reading I would not exchange for all the riches of India.”
[Ed. Note: Become a more persuasive writer and speaker... build your self-confidence and intellect... increase your attractiveness to others... just by spending 10 VERY enjoyable minutes a day with ETR's Words to the Wise CD Library.]
