unutterably

Too profound for speech

Unutterably means to a degree beyond what words can express.

The word intensifies adjectives describing extreme states: unutterably sad, unutterably beautiful, unutterably bored.

It suggests that language fails to capture the full weight of what's being described.

Literary and somewhat formal.
