Etymology
Unarousable comes from the prefix un- meaning 'not' and arouse meaning 'to wake' or 'to stir', and arouse is the same root as the common word rouse. So unarousable means 'not able to be woken or stimulated', which fits someone who cannot be awakened after an accident or during deep sleep.
