Which is the correct spelling for a word meaning "countless"?

AInnumerable

BInumerable

CInnumerabel

DInnumerible

Answer:

A. Innumerable

Read Explanation:

  • Meaning: The word "Innumerable" means too many to be counted, countless, or numberless (എണ്ണമറ്റ അല്ലെങ്കിൽ എണ്ണിയാൽ തീരാത്ത).

  • Spelling Breakdown:

    • It comes from the prefix in- (meaning 'not') + numerabilis (from numerare, meaning 'to count').

    • Therefore, it retains the double 'n' (In + numerable).

    • The suffix is -able (not -ebel or -ible).
