Etymology

**Impénétrable** = in‑ (negative prefix) + pénétrable. The adjective *pénétrable* comes from the verb *pénétrer*, which entered Old French from Latin *penetrāre* “to pierce, to enter through.” Thus *impénétrable* literally means “not able to be penetrated,” and by extension “impossible to understand or reach.”
