insolvability
Beyond any solution
Insolvability is the quality of being impossible to solve.
A math problem may have insolvability built into its structure—no solution exists.
More loosely, insolvability describes situations where no satisfactory resolution seems available: The insolvability of the conflict left both sides exhausted.
