indestructibly

/ˌɪndᵻstɹˈʌktᵻbli/ adv

In a way or to an extent that is indestructible

Word Origin From Latin 'struere' meaning 'to build, pile up.' Destroy is 'to un-build' (de- 'down, away' + struere). Indestructible is 'not able to be un-built.' The same root gives us construct (build together), instruct (build into the mind), and obstruct (build against). The breakdown in+de+struct+ible+ly shows the root 'struct' (build). The PIE root *streu- means 'to spread, strew,' which evolved to 'pile up, build.'
