1 sense · 1 part of speech · etymology included

noun

  1. (uncountable)The quality of being irresistible.
    “They came a little before five. I had, as usual, to sit next to Miss Twist, and to bear, as well as I could, many jokes, hints, insinuations, &c, as well as many plain advances, on the part of the young lady, not at all in the way of love and regard, but of affectation and vanity, as though presuming upon the irresistibility of her three hundred thousand charms.”
    “He thought that it would be difficult to imagine anything 'loftier or more appropriate than the magnitude of form, irresistibility of grasp, indignant disdain, and sportive ease of action,' which denoted the demigod. The heroic contempt, the superfluity of strength, were marvellously rendered, and entitle this figure to a high rank among the masterpieces of Reynolds.”
    “When they were gone I felt very sad as I ruminated all they told me, and I was not comforted by subsequent conversations with the general, who confirmed as to matters of fact all they had stated and added many illustrations of the hardships and aflfronts put upon the subjugated by the dominant races. So long as the spell of our irresistibility lasts, no logic of abstract justice, no argument of policy, and no invocations of the principles of the Gospel will be needed.”
