infeasible

/ˌɪnˈfizəbəɫ/ adj

Not feasible.

Word Origin Feasible comes from Latin 'facere' 'to do, make'—so something feasible is 'doable.' Add 'in-' 'not' and you get 'infeasible,' not possible to do. The same root 'facere' gives us 'fact,' 'factory,' 'effect,' and 'perfect.' The breakdown in+feas+ible makes it clear: not-do-able.
