in-VY-uh-luh-buhl
(adjective) Never to be broken, dishonored, or infringed upon.
Freedom of speech is considered an inviolable right in many democracies.
Fun Fact
Inviolable is the word used for values, rules, or promises that are off-limits for tampering. It’s common in constitutions, religious vows, and ethical codes. From courtroom oaths to sacred contracts, when something is inviolable, you don’t touch it—even if you disagree with it.
soo-SUR-us
(adjective) Characterized by soft, whispering, or rustling sounds.
The susurrous murmur of wind through the leaves made the forest feel alive yet utterly peaceful.
From Latin susurrare — “to whisper.”
Fun Fact
Writers use susurrous to evoke atmosphere—especially scenes filled with gentle natural sound. In poetry, it often describes leaves, grasses, or water moving softly enough to feel intimate, as though nature is whispering secrets. The word is onomatopoetic, meaning its sound imitates its meaning: the repeated “s” mimics the very hush it describes.
