Inaccessible

/ɪnəkˈsɛsəbəl/ adjective

Definition

Unable to be reached, entered, or obtained; not easy to approach or understand.

Etymology

From Latin 'in-' (not) combined with 'accessibilis' (able to be accessed). The negative prefix indicates absence of access.

Kelly Says

Inaccessible places in geography—hidden valleys, deep caves, mountaintops—have always fascinated humans because they represent the unknown, which is why explorers risk everything to reach them.
