unfulfillable

Beyond all achieving

Unfulfillable describes something that cannot be fulfilled or satisfied—a promise, desire, or obligation that is impossible to complete.

An unfulfillable demand asks for what cannot be delivered.

An unfulfillable longing aches for what can never be attained.

The word often carries a note of tragedy or futility: She was haunted by unfulfillable expectations.
