How Invincible
Surface Forms
Morphology
invincible = vincible (semi-transparent) = in + vinc + ible
The form is a regular prefixation (in- + vincible) conveying 'not able to be conquered', but the base 'vincible' (and the root 'vinc-') is rare and not familiar to most learners.
Etymology
Invincible comes from Latin parts in- ('not') and vincere ('to conquer' or 'to win'), the same root you see in victory. So, invincible means 'not able to be conquered', which is why we call someone or something too strong to be defeated.
