incurability

/ɪŋkjˌʊɹɹəbˈɪlᵻɾi/ noun

The quality or state of being incurable; not being able to be cured.

Word Origin Incurable comes from Latin 'in-' (not) + 'curare' (to heal, take care of), from 'cura' (care). Incurability is the state of being not curable. The root 'cura' gives us 'cure,' 'curator,' 'secure' (without care), and 'accurate' (done with care). The PIE root *kweis- 'to pay attention' is behind it.
