insufferableness

/ˌɪnˈsəfɝəbəɫnəs/ noun

The state of being insufferable.

Word Origin Suffer comes from Latin sub- 'under' and ferre 'to bear' — literally 'to bear from below,' to endure. Insufferable means not able to be endured, and insufferableness is that unbearable quality. The root ferre is incredibly productive: transfer (carry across), refer (carry back), prefer (carry before), offer (carry to), differ (carry apart), confer (carry together). The PIE *bher- also gives us fertile (bearing fruit) and aquifer (water-bearer).
