unrepayable
Cannot be returned
Unrepayable describes a debt or obligation that cannot be repaid, either because it's too large or because its nature transcends monetary compensation.
Financial debts may be unrepayable due to sheer size, but the word more often applies to kindness, sacrifice, or generosity: I owe her an unrepayable debt of gratitude.
The sense is that no adequate return is possible.
