How to use "Insurmountable" in context?
The word "insurmountable" is quite literally impossible to overcome. It derives from the Latin word "in-surtum", meaning "out of reach", and is used to describe something or someone that is incredibly difficult or improbable to overcome. Insurmountable obstacles can be physical, such as a heights or a narrow passage, or they can be mental, such as a challenge that is too difficult to handle or understand. However, despite appearing impossible or insurmountable at first glance, many insurmountable challenges can in fact be overcome with the proper training and preparation.
