Etymology

**impitoyable** adjective The word is built in late Middle French from the negating prefix **im‑** (from Latin *in-* meaning “not”) + the noun **pitié** (“pity”), which in turn comes from Latin *pietas* (piety, devotion, compassion). An adjective‑forming suffix **‑able** (from Latin *‑abilis*, “capable of”) is then added. Thus *impitoyable* literally means “not capable of pity,” a sense that has remained unchanged into modern French.
