एक ऐसा किला सोचिए जिस पर लोहे का कवच चढ़ा है — कितनी भी बड़ी सेना आए, उसे बल से जीत नहीं सकती। ऐसा किला impregnable है।

Picture a fort wrapped in iron armour: no army, however strong, can break in and take it. Such a fort is IMPREGNABLE. Remember 'pregnable' as 'capturable', and 'im' makes it 'cannot be captured'.
