Word origin
The word 'unquenchability' is derived from the verb 'quench', which comes from Old English 'cwencan' meaning to extinguish or put out. The prefix 'un-' adds the meaning of not or opposite, creating the concept of not being able to be quenched. The term is often used in contexts related to fire, thirst, or desires that cannot be easily satisfied.
