Indubitable (Adjective)
Pronunciation: [in-'du-bi-tê-bêl]
Definition: Doubtless, without doubt, unquestioned; unquestionable.
Usage: Both "doubtless" and "indubitable" may be used as adverbs but you must add -ly to the latter: "Indubitably/Doubtless he left early." Both may be used in the predicate: "His wisdom is indubitable/doubtless." Only "indubitable" may be used attributively: "His indubitable wisdom failed him." "Doubtless" does not work here.
Suggested Usage: Use this adjective where you would want to say "undoubtable" (?): There has been indubitable failure of communication here," or "I think it indubitable that you misspoke yourself just now." (This word was suggested by YDC friend Dave Rosenzweig.)
