inapproachability

/ɪnæpɹˌoʊtʃəbˈɪlᵻɾi/ noun

The quality of being inapproachable.

Word Origin Inapproachability is the noun form of inapproachable — the quality of being impossible to approach. Approach itself comes from Latin appropiare, from ad- 'to' and prope 'near,' so it's literally 'to come near.' The same prope gives us proximity and propinquity, while the negative in- makes it unapproachable.
