| word | immutable |
|---|---|
| definition | Not able or liable to change. |
| eg_sentence | Early philosophers believed there was an immutable substance at the root of all existence. |
| explanation | Mutable means simply “changeable,” so when the negative prefix im- is added we get its opposite. In computer programming, an immutable object is one that can't be changed after it's been created. In a constantly changing world, people who hunger for things as immutable as the laws of nature may try to observe an immutable moral code and set of values. Unfortunately, immutability isn't a basic quality of many things in this world |
