inexplicableness
Quality resisting understanding
The quality of being impossible to explain or account for.
Inexplicableness is the noun form of inexplicable, used when referring to the condition itself rather than describing something: The inexplicableness of his disappearance haunted the family for years.
The word is rare; most speakers prefer the smoother inexplicability.
