incalculability

/ɪŋkˌælkjuləbˈɪlᵻɾi/ noun

The quality or state of being incalculable.

Word Origin From Latin 'calculus' 'small stone' — because Romans used pebbles for counting. Incalculability means the quality of being incalculable, not able to be counted. The root gives us calculate, calculator, calculus (the math), and miscalculate. The PIE root for stone also gives us calcium and chalk. So incalculability is literally 'not-pebble-able-ness'.
