Both Uses of
audible
in
1984, by Orwell
- The voice from the other table quacked rapidly on, easily audible in spite of the surrounding din.†
p. 54.7audible = capable of being heard
- Winston sighed inaudibly.†
p. 67.5 *inaudibly = so quietly it almost couldn't be heardstandard prefix: The prefix "in-" in inaudibly means not and reverses the meaning of audibly. This is the same pattern you see in words like invisible, incomplete, and insecure.
