Incontrovertible

Definition

Not able to be denied or disputed; clearly established as true beyond any reasonable doubt.

Etymology

From Latin prefix 'in-' (not) and 'controvertible' (able to be disputed), from 'controversia' (dispute). The word literally means 'cannot be turned against' in argument.

Kelly Says

Think 'cannot be controversial' - incontrovertible facts are so solid that even the most argumentative person can't dispute them! They're controversy-proof.
