irrevocableness

/ˌɪɹəˈvɑkəbəlnəs/ noun

Quality of being irrevocable.

Word Origin From Latin ir- 'not' + re- 'back' + vocare 'to call' — irrevocable means 'not able to be called back.' The breakdown ir+re+voc+able+ness: ir- (not), re- (back), voc (call), -able, -ness. The calling root vocare gives us revoke, advocate, evoke, invoke, provoke, and vocal. So irrevocableness is the state of being unrecallable — once something is irrevocable, the call can't be taken back.
