Morphology
irreconcilability = irreconcilable (transparent) = ir + reconcile + able + ity
Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ity' to 'irreconcilable'; the meaning is the state of being impossible to reconcile and follows regular derivational patterns.
Etymology
The word irreconcilability comes from the familiar verb reconcile ('bring together' or 'make agree'), with the prefix ir- ('not') and the ending -ability ('ability'). So it means 'not able to be brought together', which is why we use it for ideas, plans, or people that cannot be made to agree.
