Ponderous (adj.) vs. Imponderable (adj. & n.)
📘PONDER means to think over. So, PONDEROUS must mean thinking. However, this is not the case.
📕PONDEROUS is derived from ‘pondus’, which means weight (think of a pound). So, to be PONDEROUS means to be weighed-down, and to move slowly and in a labored fashion.
Example:
📓He had a rather slow and ponderous manner.
📗IMPONDERABLE is not the opposite of PONDEROUS. It actually relates to thinking.
📔An IMPONDERABLE is something that is impossible to estimate, fathom or figure out. Say a child was to ask, “How long would it take driving in a car to go from one end of the universe to the other?”
📚Unless you have a really big
calculator and a very fast car, the answer to this question would be IMPONDERABLE.
