incomprehensible
意味: Impossible to understand or make sense of; not able to be grasped by the mind.
Incomprehensible can describe language, behaviour, decisions, or phenomena that defy understanding. It is stronger than 'confusing' and implies that comprehension is fundamentally impossible rather than merely difficult. It can be used both critically (incomprehensible writing) and with a sense of awe (the incomprehensible vastness of space). Common collocations include 'utterly incomprehensible,' 'incomprehensible to,' 'incomprehensible decision,' and 'incomprehensible jargon.'
