Word origin

The word 'irrecoverable' originated from the Latin word 'irrecuperabilis', which means 'not able to be regained'. It has been used in the English language since the 17th century. The prefix 'ir-' signifies 'not' or 'without', while 'recoverable' relates to the ability to regain something. Over time, 'irrecoverable' has come to be commonly used in financial and emotional contexts to describe losses or damages that cannot be recovered or restored.
