unreturnable
Gone for good
Unreturnable describes something that cannot be sent back or given back.
A store may sell items marked unreturnable—no refunds, no exchanges.
In sports, an unreturnable serve or shot is one the opponent cannot play back: She hit an unreturnable volley into the corner.
The word can extend to abstract things: an unreturnable favor, an unreturnable moment in time.
