ineligibility

/ɪnˌɛlɪdʒəbˈɪlᵻɾi/ noun

The state or quality of being ineligible.

Word Origin Ineligibility is built on Latin 'eligere' 'to pick out, choose' (e- 'out' + legere 'to gather, choose'). So eligible means 'able to be chosen,' and ineligibility is the state of not being choosable. The root 'legere' is incredibly productive: it gives us 'elect,' 'select,' 'collect,' and even 'legend' (originally 'things to be read,' chosen stories). The prefix in- negates, and -ity makes it a noun.
