unchangeableness

Quality of constancy

Unchangeableness is the quality of being unable to be changed or altered.

The word appears in formal or philosophical contexts discussing permanence—the unchangeableness of natural laws, of divine nature, of certain truths.

It emphasizes absolute fixedness rather than mere stability: The unchangeableness of his position frustrated all attempts at negotiation.
