Word origin
The adverb irrevocably is derived from the adjective irrevocable, which comes from the Latin word 'irrevocabilis', meaning 'that cannot be recalled'. The prefix 'ir-' conveys a sense of negation or absence, while 'revocare' means 'to call back' or 'to revoke'. The concept of irrevocability emphasizes the finality and permanence of a decision or action, highlighting the impossibility of reversing or undoing it.
