What does “immutable” mean?

immutable


Oh, this is a good one —

"Immutable" means something that cannot be changed. Like, no matter what, it stays the same forever.

So imagine a law of nature — like, the sun rises in the east. That's immutable. You can't change it. You might say, "The rules of math are immutable — two plus two will always be four."

People also use it in serious writing or tech stuff. Like, "Once you sign the contract, the terms are immutable." Meaning, done deal, no edits allowed.

Or someone might say, "Her love for her kids is immutable" — meaning nothing in the world could change it. It's kind of a strong, dramatic word that way.

So basically — immutable = fixed, permanent, impossible to change, no matter what.
