untransmissible
Impossible to pass
Untransmissible describes something that cannot be passed from one person or thing to another.
The word appears most often in medical contexts, where a disease or condition is untransmissible if it cannot spread between individuals: The genetic disorder is untransmissible—it develops spontaneously rather than through inheritance or infection.
Also spelled untransmittable.
