unfathomability
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Pronunciation: /ʌnˈfæðəməbɪləti/
/ʌnˈfæðməˈbɪl.ɪ.ti/
Etymology: From un- + fathom + -ability.
Senses: examples: text: It is as the infinitesimal droplet of the ordinary aqueous fluid in the bounding and boundless ocean of unfathomability.
ref: 1874, George William Bagby, Caesar Maurice, What I Did with My Fifty Millions, J.B. Lippincott and Company, page 50:
text: The motives operating on a man do not explain his act till we know what sort of a man he is; and this, his original disposition or character, is a mere datum or brute fact. Things are so and so, and no reasons, ultimately, can be given for them. This unaccountability and unfathomability of the world, its purely empirical character, was to Schopenhauer proof that in it we have something more than merely mental phenomena which as products of the subject would sooner or later be intelligible to the subject just as are those other unquestioned products, the forms of space and time.
ref: 1890, Hegeler Institute, Edward C. Hegeler, Paul Carus, The Monist, Open Court for the Hegeler Institute, pages 10–11:
text: It is a remarkably warm night for the season, the ground almost entirely bare. The stars are dazzlingly bright. The fault may be in my own barrenness, but methinks there is a certain poverty about the winter night's sky. The stars of higher magnitude are more bright and dazzling, and therefore appear more near and numerable, while those that appear indistinct and infinitely remote in the summer, imparting the impression of unfathomability to the sky, are scarcely seen at all. The front halls of heaven are so brilliantly lighted that they quite eclipse the more remote. The sky has fallen many degrees.
ref: 1906, Henry David Thoreau, Bradford Torrey, Franklin Benjamin Sanborn, Ralph Waldo Emerson, The Writings of Henry David Thoreau, Houghton, Mifflin and Company, page 172:
text: Watching the captain under cover of the rapid-fire small talk of the animated group, Jules noted that his cinnamon-coloured eyes hardly ever left Sonia's face. So he had ambitions! How many men, Dane wondered, were fired with that same longing? And what about the woman invested her with such power? It might have been her unfathomability. Men love the mysterious, that which they cannot probe, which ever eludes and beckons from beyond. Sonia had this attribute.
ref: 1920, Samuel Alexander White, North of the Law, Doubleday, Page, page 126:
text: The case study presented in “This Is How God Wants It? The Struggle of Sebastian” is a vivid instance of how sociocultural and psychodynamic milieu affects the formation of extraordinary experience, how the core of that experience is better characterized in terms of struggle than of symptoms, and the ultimate unfathomability of schizophrenia as a form of human subjectivity.
ref: 2015, Janis H. Jenkins, Extraordinary Conditions: Culture and Experience in Mental Illness, University of California Press, →ISBN, page 17:

ref: 1914, Arthur Quiller-Couch, “Interlude: On Jargon”, in On the Art of Writing:
text: A friend of mine had a slight skin rash she couldn't identify, so she went to a real Jargoneer. He scowled at the rash, went "Hmmm" several times, then made a couple of sorties into his lab. . . . Finally he came back and informed her impressively that she was suffering from an Indeterminate Dermatitis.
