Why “remedilessness” is a great word
REMEDILESSNESS — [Noun] The state or condition of having no remedy or cure; the absolute absence of any corrective measure. From remediless (from remedy + -less, meaning "without remedy") + -ness (suffix forming abstract nouns indicating a state or condition). First attested in 1601. Unlike helplessness, which emphasizes a lack of personal power or aid, or incurability, which pertains specifically to disease, remedilessness names the objective verdict pronounced upon a fixed predicament itself. It is the structural fault that cannot be mended, the irrevocable word spoken into a void, or the immutable verdict that closes the final appeal—the quiet, terminal grammar of a situation for which no verb of repair exists.
