UNDEFACEABLE Meaning and
Definition
-
Undefaceable is an adjective used to describe something that cannot be defaced, marred, or altered in any significant or noticeable way. It refers to an object, surface, or quality that is resistant to being marked, disfigured, or spoiled, thereby maintaining its original appearance, integrity, or value.
The term derives from the combination of the prefix "un-" meaning not or without, and the verb "deface" which means to spoil or damage the surface or appearance of something. Undefaceable implies a level of durability or resilience that prevents any harm or alteration from occurring.
This word can apply to various contexts. For instance, a document or record that is considered undefaceable is incapable of being tampered with, modified, or falsified without detection. In the context of architecture or design, an undefaceable material or surface resists graffiti, vandalism, or weathering, retaining its pristine condition. It can also describe a person's reputation, indicating that it remains untarnished or unblemished, even in the face of criticism, scandal, or adversity.
Undefaceable emphasizes the unyielding nature of something, highlighting its ability to endure or withstand damage, manipulation, or harm. It implies a sense of invincibility or imperviousness, reinforcing the idea that the object or quality in question cannot be altered, spoiled, or diminished in any noticeable or significant manner.

Etymology of UNDEFACEABLE
The word undefaceable is derived from the combination of the prefix un- meaning not and the word defaceable.
The root word defaceable is formed by the combination of the prefix de- meaning down or remove, and the verb face, which comes from the Old French word facer meaning to make or do. Thus, deface means to ruin the surface or appearance of something.
By adding the prefix un- to defaceable, the negation not is introduced. As a result, undefaceable means not capable of being defaced or impossible to ruin the surface or appearance of.
