Word origin
The word 'irrefutable' originated from the Latin word 'irrefutabilis', which means 'unable to be refuted'. It first appeared in English in the mid-17th century. The prefix 'ir-' signifies 'not', while 'refutable' comes from the Latin 'refutare', meaning 'to refute'. Over time, 'irrefutable' has become commonly used in legal, scientific, and philosophical contexts to describe arguments, evidence, or facts that are impossible to disprove or question.
