unappeasable

/ʌnæpˈizəbəl/ adj

Not able to be appeased or satisfied.

Word Origin Unappeasable is built from un- 'not' + appease + -able 'able to be'. Appease comes from Latin ad- 'to' + pac- 'peace' — literally 'to bring to peace'. So unappeasable means 'not able to be brought to peace'. The root pac- gives us peace, pacify, and pact, from PIE *pag- 'to fasten, fix' — peace is a fixed, settled state. So unappeasable is someone who can't be settled down.
