The word "unchangeablenesses" is a noun form derived from the adjective "unchangeable". Here is the etymology of the word:
- "Un-" is a prefix meaning "not" or "opposite of" derived from Old English and Germanic origins.
- "Changeable" is derived from the verb "change" which originated from Old English "cēapian" meaning "to barter, exchange, or buy" and evolved to mean "to alter, transform, or modify".
- The suffix "-able" is derived from Old French and Latin, denoting "capable or susceptible of" or "worthy of".
Therefore, "unchangeable" means "not capable of being changed or altered". The "-ness" suffix is then added to create a noun form, "unchangeableness", which refers to the quality or state of being unchangeable.
