nevymyhatelné

Nevymyhatelné is a Czech adjective that translates to "unwashable" or "indelible" in English. It describes something that cannot be removed by washing or cleaning. This can refer to physical substances, such as stains that are permanent on fabric, or it can be used metaphorically to describe abstract concepts that are difficult or impossible to erase from memory or reputation.

For instance, a nevymyhatelná skvrna would be a stain that resists all attempts at removal. In a figurative sense, a nevymyhatelný pocit viny might describe a persistent feeling of guilt that cannot be shaken off. The word conveys a sense of permanence and resistance to conventional methods of cleansing. It is often used to emphasize the stubbornness of a particular mark or impression. The etymology of the word breaks down into "ne" (not), "vymývat" (to wash out), and the suffix "-telné" indicating capacity or possibility. Therefore, its literal meaning directly reflects its function: something not capable of being washed out.
