uncommunicable
Beyond words' reach
Unable to be communicated or conveyed to others.
The term applies to experiences, feelings, or knowledge that resist expression in language: The mystic's vision remained uncommunicable.
Uncommunicable differs slightly from incommunicable, which is more common and carries the same meaning.
Both suggest something essentially private or beyond the reach of shared understanding.
