inexplicable
Significado: Unable to be explained or accounted for; baffling and mysterious.
Inexplicable is used when no rational explanation presents itself for an event, behaviour, or phenomenon. It is stronger than 'puzzling' and implies genuine bewilderment. The adverb 'inexplicably' is extremely common in journalism and everyday speech. Common collocations include 'inexplicable behaviour,' 'inexplicable delay,' 'quite inexplicable,' and 'inexplicably absent.'
