pricelessness
Cannot be bought
Pricelessness is the quality of being beyond monetary value—so precious that no price could capture its worth.
The word applies to irreplaceable things: the pricelessness of family heirlooms, the pricelessness of time with loved ones.
It can also describe something supremely amusing: the pricelessness of his expression when he realized his mistake.
