impenetrableness

/ˌɪmˈpɛnətɹəbəɫnəs/ noun

The quality of being impenetrable.

Word Origin Penetrate comes from Latin penetrare 'to enter, pierce' — so impenetrable means not able to be entered. Impenetrableness is the quality of being impenetrable. The root gives us penetrate, penetration, penetrative. The prefix im- (variant of in-) means 'not.' So impenetrableness is the state of being impossible to pierce.
