unsufferable
Too awful enduring
Unsufferable is a nonstandard variant of insufferable, meaning unbearable or intolerable.
The standard form uses the Latin prefix in-, but some speakers substitute un-, perhaps by analogy with other negatives.
Most editors would mark it as an error: His unsufferable arrogance alienated everyone.
Use insufferable in formal writing.
