Word origin

The word 'unreachability' is a derivative of the word 'unreachable', which originated in the late 16th century. The prefix 'un-' signifies negation, while 'reach' comes from Old English 'rǣcan' meaning 'to extend one's hand'. The suffix '-able' indicates the possibility or capability of being reached. Thus, 'unreachability' embodies the concept of something being beyond reach or unattainable.
