    Is there a difference between indissoluble and insoluble? I’ve only ever used the latter.

    Actually, I just looked it up:

    <The word most likely to be used for things that cannot be dissolved in a liquid is “insoluble.” “Indissoluble” generally refers to abstract entities, such as promises or treaties, that cannot be dissolved.>
