(pronounced in-DEL-a-bull)

We just think this adjective is a lovely word, and you frequently hear it in its adverb form: indelibly. It means memorable, lasting, unforgettable, and is applied to describe something that cannot be erased or removed. It can be applied to the tangible (physical marks) or to the intangible (memories).

Example: Though he had been retired for five years, the facilities manager’s visionary planning had left an indelible impression on the company’s corporate culture.
