unrecognizability
Beyond any identification
Unrecognizability is the quality of being impossible or difficult to recognize.
Something changed beyond unrecognizability has been so thoroughly altered that its original form cannot be identified: The fire had burned the documents to unrecognizability.
The word often describes extreme transformation—of faces, places, or things once familiar.
