Usage Examples

Etymology

Incroyable is formed in French from the negating prefix **in-** (from Latin *in* “not”) + **croyable**, the adjective derived from the verb **croire** “to believe”. **Croire** itself comes from Old French *crier*, ultimately from Latin *credere* “to trust, believe”. The construction appears in the 15th‑16th century and follows the usual French pattern of adding *-able* to a verb to create a quality adjective.
