ungettable
Cannot be obtained
Ungettable describes something impossible to obtain or acquire.
The word appears most often in contexts where desire meets frustration: The house was ungettable at any price, She remained ungettable—every attempt to reach her failed.
In cricket, an ungettable ball is one the batsman cannot possibly play.
The word emphasizes not just difficulty but impossibility.
