Definition of indivisible

indivisibleadjective

không thể chia cắt

/ˌɪndɪˈvɪzəbl//ˌɪndɪˈvɪzəbl/

The word "indivisible" originates from the Latin phrase "indivisibilis," which is a combination of "in" (not) and "divisibilis" (divisible). In Latin, "divisibilis" means capable of being divided or parted, whereas "indivisibilis" means unable to be divided or not capable of being parted. The term "indivisible" was first used in English in the 15th century to describe something that cannot be divided or separated into its component parts. Over time, the word has taken on additional meanings, including being unable to be conquered or defeated, or being inherently and irreconcilably opposed to something else. One of the most famous uses of the word "indivisible" is in the United States Pledge of Allegiance, which states "one nation indivisible" to emphasize the unity and irreconcilable nature of the American people.
