Word origin

The word 'incomprehensibly' is derived from the combination of the prefix 'in-' meaning 'not' or 'opposite of', the root word 'comprehensible' meaning 'able to be understood', and the suffix '-ly' which forms an adverb. The term has been in use since the 17th century in the English language, evolving to describe something that is impossible to understand or make sense of.
