Description

Imagine a pattern cut into stone. It stays the same no matter what you do. That is the idea behind "unchangeable." It describes something so fixed or certain that it cannot be made different. People often use it for things like the past, basic facts of nature, or a deep feeling that does not fade.

The word is stronger than "hard to change." It means change is not possible, not just unlikely. You might use it for a natural law, a lasting promise, or a part of someone's character that seems permanent.
