insolvability

/ɪnsˌɑlvəbˈɪlᵻɾi/ noun

The quality of being insolvable.

Word Origin Insolvability is the state of being unable to be solved or paid. It comes from Latin solvere 'to loosen' — solving a problem is like untying a knot. The same root gives us dissolve, resolve, and absolute (literally 'loosened from' all constraints). So insolvability means the knot can't be untied.
