Why “incommutability” is a great word
The quality of being unalterable, unexchangeable, or irrevocably fixed. From Late Latin incommutabilitas, from Latin in- ("not") + commutabilis ("changeable, exchangeable"), from commutare ("to change, exchange"). First recorded in English in the 15th century. Unlike mutability, which is the very capacity for flux, or flexibility, which suggests gracious adaptation, incommutability is a condition of finality. It is the engraving on a tombstone, the verdict of a highest court, the specific gravity of lead—a solemn weight that admits no appeal, the quiet bedrock of certain sorrows and certain laws.
