  • Because Ted Lewis kept having to do it all the time, kept having to do this act of his all the time—always come out there where they could see him singing a little bit and dancing a little bit and leading his band for them and walking around for them and then, just at what he must have decided was the one special particular undividable point for him to do it, hike his cane a little and beat on this beat-up top hat of his a little and say, "Hey, is everyone?"

    Fiction book (1998)
  • When you divide the pie among friends, make sure each piece is undividable so that everyone gets an equal share.

Morphology

undividable = dividable (transparent) = un + divide + able

Formed by adding the productive prefix 'un-' to 'dividable' (divide + -able); the meaning 'not able to be divided' is directly predictable.

Etymology

The word undividable is made of three parts: un- meaning 'not', divide meaning 'to split', and -able meaning 'can be'. So, undividable means 'not able to be split', which is why we use it for things you cannot divide into equal parts without leaving a remainder.
