This is the noun: the quality of being too strong to be destroyed. You can talk about the indestructibility of a toy, a phone case, or — more loosely — a friendship or a hope that keeps coming back. Ads love this word; they promise indestructibility as a selling point. Though actually, nothing people make is truly impossible to break. In everyday English the word is a proud stretch, closer to “extremely hard to wreck” than to a scientific fact. It is a long, formal-looking noun; in casual talk most people just say “it never breaks” or “you can’t destroy it.”
