unmovable

/ʌnmˈuvəbəl/ adj

Not physically able to be moved.

Word Origin From un- + movable. Movable comes from Latin movere 'to move'. Unmovable means 'not able to be moved'. The root movere gives us a huge family: move, motion, motor, emotion (moving out), promote (move forward), remote (moved back). So unmovable is literally 'un-move-able'. Related: immovable (same meaning, from Latin in-), movable.
