unaccountability

/ʌnækˌaʊntəbˈɪlᵻɾi/ noun

The state or condition of being unaccountable.

Word Origin Account comes from Latin 'computare' (to count together), from 'com-' (together) + 'putare' (to reckon, originally 'to prune, cut'). Unaccountability is the state of not being accountable. The root 'putare' gives us 'compute,' 'dispute,' and 'impute.' The PIE root *pau- 'to cut, strike' shows the pruning origin.
