Incapable of being taken by force; strong enough to withstand attack. 2. Capable of being impregnated. ETYMOLOGY: For 1: From Old French imprenable, from in- (not) + prenable (vulnerable to capture), from prendre (to take, seize).

Earliest documented use: 1430. For 2: From Latin impraegnaere (to fertilize, impregnate). Ultimately from the Indo-European root gen- (to give birth), which also gave birth to words such as generate, engine, indigenous, and germ. ________________________________ impegnable - to be capable of being pegged or not.

ETYMOLOGY: Loan translation of French moment psychologique (psychological moment), which itself is a mistaken loan translation of German das psychologische Moment (psychological element or factor) taken as der psychologische Moment (the psychological moment of time). The word came to French during the German Siege of Paris in 1870. Earliest documented use: 1871. ___________________________________________________ O > E psychological mement- a pop culture fad word that goes viral. EX: viral

wofahulicodoc Carpal Tunnel Registered: 08/06/01 Posts: 3790 Loc: Worcester, MA	psychological moment - an example of psychobabble: meaingless, overblown, self-consciously pompous and needlessly complex, full of sound and fury and signifying nothing. Don't like the phrase to begin with. So there. psychological foment - stir up trouble by pushing people's buttons...
