Etymology

The term 'unshakable' is derived from the prefix 'un-', meaning 'not', combined with the word 'shakable’, which comes from the verb 'shake'. 'Shake' originates from Old English 'sceacan', meaning 'to move back and forth', which has its roots in Proto-Germanic *skakōną, relating to the act of shaking or vibrating. The addition of 'un-' effectively negates the ability to shake, implying a sense of stability and permanence. The word has been in use since the early 17th century, often to describe a person's resolve, determination, or faith that remains unaffected by difficulties or challenges. Over time, 'unshakable' has been used in various contexts, including moral, emotional, and physical attributes, to emphasize the strength and reliability of an individual or belief.
