ineffable in SSC previous-year questions

  1. SSC CHSL 2025 T-1 Antonyms

    Select the most appropriate antonym of the word: Ineffable

    Answer & explanation

    Answer: A) Expressible

    Correct Answer: Option 1 — 'Expressible'
    'Ineffable' means too great or extreme to be expressed in words; indescribable or unutterable. Its antonym is 'Expressible', meaning capable of being expressed or put into words.
    Word breakdown: In- (not) + effable (able to be spoken/expressed) = Ineffable (cannot be expressed).
    Antonym: Expressible = able to be expressed in words.
    Why other options are wrong:
    (b) Inarticulate — means unable to express oneself clearly. This is similar to ineffable in meaning (synonym), not an antonym.
    (c) Unfathomable — means impossible to understand or measure. Synonym of ineffable, not an antonym.
    (d) Indescribable — means too extraordinary to be described in words.
