unbreakable
word
Definition
Describes something that cannot be broken, either physically (like glass) or in a figurative sense (like a strong friendship).
Usage & Nuances
'Unbreakable' can denote both literal indestructibility (glass, plastic) and metaphorical strength (unbreakable promise). It's formal or neutral. Avoid using with things that are obviously breakable—'unbreakable mirror' is often an exaggeration. Frequently used with 'bond,' 'spirit,' or 'code.'
