Description

Something unquestionable is so clearly true, real, or certain that there is no good reason to doubt it. It feels firm and settled, like something that has already been proven. Think of strong evidence in a case or a fact that everyone can see clearly.

The word is often used for facts, proof, needs, or personal qualities. You might say someone's honesty is unquestionable, or that the need for clean water is unquestionable. It can also describe support, loyalty, or authority when they seem clear and beyond doubt. Still, people sometimes use the word too strongly, because what seems unquestionable to one person may still be questioned by another.
