Etymology
The word 'incomprehensibility' is derived from the word 'incomprehensible,' which originated in the late 14th century. The prefix 'in-' means 'not,' and 'comprehensible' comes from the Latin word 'comprehendere,' meaning 'to seize, to grasp.' Therefore, 'incomprehensibility' refers to the state of not being able to be fully understood or grasped.
