The part people get wrong

Watch for an unstressed vowel that is hard to hear.

Same family: visibility, visibly, vision, visual, envision. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: Invisible comes from Latin 'in-' meaning 'not' and 'visibilis' meaning 'able to be seen.' It is closely related to the word 'vision,' so you can remember it as something 'not vision-able'—not able to be seen.
