kaputt
Beyond all repair
Kaputt is the German spelling of kaput, meaning broken, ruined, or no longer functioning.
English borrowed the word in the early twentieth century and typically spells it kaput, but the German spelling appears in English texts, especially when evoking German culture or wartime contexts: The whole plan is kaputt.
