Word origin
The word 'inviolable' originated from the Latin word 'inviolabilis', formed by the prefix 'in-' (not) and the verb 'violare' (to violate). It entered the English language around the 16th century and has since been used to describe something that is sacred, untouchable, or cannot be transgressed.
