Word origin
The word 'innumerable' originated from the Latin word 'innumerabilis', which is a combination of 'in-' (not) and 'numerabilis' (able to be numbered). The English word first appeared in the 14th century. Over time, 'innumerable' has been used to describe a vast quantity that cannot be counted or measured accurately.
