IRREMISSIBLE Meaning and Definition

1. Irremissible is an adjective that describes something that cannot be forgiven or pardoned, often referring to a wrong or offense. The term is derived from the Latin word "irremissibilis," where "ir-" means "not" and "-remissibilis" comes from "remissus," meaning "to send back."

   When an action or behavior is considered irremissible, it signifies that it is so severe or morally wrong that it cannot be excused or overlooked. An irremissible act typically goes beyond what is considered acceptable or tolerable within societal norms or established ethical boundaries. It suggests that the transgression is unforgivable, entailing grave consequences or irreversible harm.

   The term irremissible carries a sense of permanence and finality, indicating that the offense or obligation cannot be rectified, undone, or forgiven. It emphasizes the gravity of the act or the inescapable duty to be fulfilled.
