incomputable

/ɪŋkəmpjˈuɾəbəl/ adj

Not computable; that cannot be computed, calculated or estimated.

Word Origin From Latin putare 'to prune, settle accounts, think' — originally meaning 'to cut' (PIE *pau-). That's why compute literally means 'to reckon together,' and incomputable is 'not reckonable.' The same root gives us count (via Old French), dispute (thinking apart = arguing), and reputation (what people think of you).
