Word origin
The word 'impracticality' is derived from the adjective 'impractical,' which originated from the combination of the prefix 'im-' meaning 'not' or 'opposite of,' and the word 'practical' meaning 'of or concerned with the actual doing or use of something rather than with theory and ideas.' The term has been used in English language since the mid-17th century.
