Etymology
The word 'unerasable' is a combination of 'un-' meaning 'not' and 'erasable'. It first appeared in the late 19th century with the rise of digital technology and the need to describe data that cannot be deleted or removed easily. The concept of something being unerasable has since expanded to include memories or experiences that are deeply ingrained and cannot be forgotten. The word highlights the permanence and lasting impact of certain things in our lives.
