unrecognizably

Past all identification

Unrecognizably describes something changed or altered to such a degree that it cannot be identified as what it was: The fire had damaged the building unrecognizably.

The word emphasizes the completeness of transformation—a face aged unrecognizably, a landscape altered unrecognizably by development.
