Immemorial - a podcast by Word of the Day

Immemorial is an adjective that means extending beyond the reach of memory.

The Latin word memorialis (mem or ee AL ees) roughly translates to ‘memory.’ With the prefix I-M, we get a word that means ‘lacking memory.’ Our word of the day is used to refer to something ‘beyond memory.’ For example: There is something immemorial about the tribal rhythms we heard at the shore. They seemed like echoes from the ancient past.
