incommunicable

/ɪŋkəmjˈunɪkəbəl/ adj

That cannot be communicated or transmitted

Word Origin From Latin communicare 'to share, make common' — communicable means able to be shared or transmitted. Incommunicable means not able to be communicated. The root communis 'common' gives us community (a group sharing), communicate (to share information), and communism (shared ownership). The PIE root *mey- 'to change, exchange' also gives us mutual and migrate.
