inadmissible
Barred from consideration
Inadmissible describes something that cannot be allowed or accepted.
In legal contexts, inadmissible evidence is excluded from consideration in court: The judge ruled the confession inadmissible because it was obtained under duress.
More broadly, anything unacceptable or impermissible: Such behavior is inadmissible in a professional setting.
