Implacable, adj.

Pronunciation: ˈimˈplakəb(ə)l, imˈplākəb(ə)l

Meaning: When something is said to be implacable, we mean it is unable to be placated. OK, I’ll stop being sassy and give you a clearer definition. It is something that is relentless, unstoppable, unappeasable, and it can even carry a sort of ruthless, heartless, or harsh connotation in certain contexts.

Usage:

• “The prosecutor was implacable in her pursuit of justice, refusing to back down despite intense public pressure.”
• “The storm advanced with implacable force, leaving little time for anyone to prepare.”
• “She faced her critics with an implacable calm, unmoved by their harshest words.”
