unburnable

/ʌnbˈɜnəbəl/ adj

That is difficult or impossible to burn

Word Origin Burn comes from a Proto-Germanic root meaning 'to burn', and the PIE root *bhreu- also gives us brew (by heating) and broth. Unburnable adds the Latin suffix -able (able to be) and the negative un-, so it's 'not able to be burned'. Related: burner, sunburn, heartburn.
