infinite

/ˈɪn.fə.nɪt/

adjectivein · fi · nite

Think: **IN** + **FIN**ish? **No**—it never finishes, so it’s **in-finite** (not finished, no end).

Yes, it's infinite. Don’t add an extra **-y**: it ends with **-nite**, not **-nity**.

Definitions

  1. adjectiveWithout any limit or end; impossible to measure or count completely.
  2. adjectiveVery great in amount or degree; seeming to have no end.

Examples

  • The universe can feel infinite when you look up at the night sky.
