Monica recently bought a rucksack that was described on its wonderful label as 'indefectible'. Hwne I saw that I assumed it was one of those made-up words that translators occasionally manage to create from a mangle of similar words. I was wrong. It is a real word.
Indefectible adj. - Having the ability to resist
decay or failure; lasting; having no flaw or defect; perfect.
I just wish I were indefectible!
In a religious context the indefectibility of the Church is a gift
from Christ to the Church by which she is preserved to the end of the age as
the "institution of salvation".
I'll be saving the label, it will probably be surviving the actual bag... Don't think I've ever seen such a line-up of grand words to describe a relatively simple product... ;)
