unmitigable
Beyond any softening
Unmitigable describes something that cannot be lessened, softened, or made less severe.
Where mitigating circumstances might reduce a sentence or mitigating factors might ease a problem, unmitigable ones resist any such relief: The damage to his reputation proved unmitigable.
The word appears in legal, environmental, and philosophical contexts where harm or consequences are beyond reduction.
