inexpressibleness

/ˌɪnɛkspɹˈɛsᵻbəlnəs/ noun

Word Origin Inexpressibleness is the noun form of inexpressible — the state of being unable to be expressed. Express comes from Latin exprimere, ex- 'out' and premere 'to press,' so to express is literally to press out your thoughts. Inexpressible means those thoughts can't be pressed out. The same premere gives us press, impress, and suppress.
