inadvisability

/ɪnædvˌaɪzəbˈɪlᵻɾi/ noun

The quality or state of being inadvisable.

Word Origin Inadvisability is built on Latin 'videre' 'to see' — so to advise is literally 'to look at, consider' (ad- 'to' + visare 'look'). Advisable means 'able to be looked at favorably,' and inadvisability is the quality of not being wise to do. The same root gives us 'vision,' 'visible,' 'visit,' and 'evidence' (things seen). The stack of prefixes and suffixes (in+ad+vis+abil+ity) makes it a mouthful, but each piece adds meaning.
