Invincibility
“Invincibility” 是一个名词,指“不可战胜”、“无懈可击”或“无敌”。它描述的是一种无法被击败、征服或摧毁的状态。

- 前缀:
in-(不/非)。 - 中缀:
-ible(可……的)。 - 后缀:

在神话中,“无敌”通常与某些弱点(如阿喀琉斯之踵)联系在一起。在现代商业中,某些科技巨头在其鼎盛时期常被形容为拥有 “market invincibility”,意指其市场地位不可撼动。
- 形容词: invincible (不可战胜的)
- 副词: invincibly (不可战胜地)
in- (不) + vinc (征服) + ibility (可能性)。“没有被征服的可能性”,即“不可战胜”。
