inconvincible

/ɪŋkənvˈɪnsᵻbəl/ adj

Incapable of being convinced.

Word Origin From Latin vincere 'to conquer' — convince literally means 'to conquer completely' in a battle of ideas. Inconvincible describes someone who cannot be conquered by argument, utterly unpersuadable. The root vincere gives us victor, victory, vanquish, invincible, and province (a conquered territory). The PIE root *weik- meant 'to fight,' so inconvincible is 'unfightable' in debate.
