Etymology of IRRECONCILIATION

The word "Irreconciliation" is derived from the combination of two roots: "ir-" and "reconciliation".

1. The prefix "ir-" is a negating prefix derived from the Latin prefix "in-". It is commonly used to form words that mean "not" or "lack of". For instance, "irregular" means "not regular", "irrelevant" means "not relevant", etc.

2. The root "reconciliation" comes from the Latin word "reconciliare", which means "to bring together again" or "to make peaceful". It is derived from the prefix "re-" meaning "again" and the verb "conciliare" meaning "to bring together" or "to unite".

Combining these two elements, "ir-" and "reconciliation", the word "Irreconciliation" is formed.
