Etymology
The word 'incontrollable' is derived from the combination of the prefix 'in-' and the word 'controllable'. The prefix 'in-' denotes negation or absence, while 'controllable' comes from the verb 'control'. Therefore, 'incontrollable' refers to something that cannot be controlled or restrained. The term has been used in English language to describe various situations where control or restraint is lacking, dating back to the early 19th century.
