Pronunciation

  • /ˌənˈbitəbəl/

Description

To be "unbeatable" means being so strong, skilled, or effective that beating you seems impossible. Think of a chess grandmaster who keeps winning tournaments: most opponents may see that player as unbeatable. In everyday life, the term often refers to value; an "unbeatable deal" or "unbeatable price" suggests that no better offer is available. It does not always mean literally never losing. More often, it means having such a clear advantage that success seems very likely. Whether it describes a team that is "unbeatable at home" or a person with an "unbeatable spirit," the word carries a sense of strength and admiration.
