Etymology: "Incommunicably" is simply the adverb of "incommunicable," built by adding the suffix "-ly" to that adjective. The adjective itself is formed from the prefix "in-," meaning "not," and "communicable," which descends from the Latin "communicare," to share or impart. Put together, the root idea is something that cannot be shared or passed on to others. The meaning of the adjective has long covered two senses: things that cannot be passed from one person to another, such as a feeling or a secret, and things that cannot be told or put into words. The adverb follows the same pattern, describing an action or state carried out in a way that makes sharing achieved in no way possible.
