unforgivable (comparative more unforgivable, superlative most unforgivable)

  1. Not forgivable; inexcusable.
    Synonyms: inexcusable, unpardonable, unremittable
    People who smuggle artifacts, blood diamonds and ivory trinkets on the black market are unforgivable in my mind.
    • 2008, Martin Joseph Matuštík, Radical Evil and the Scarcity of Hope: Postsecular Meditations, →ISBN:
      Since unforgivable acts lie in one's positive use of freedom to undo creation—to uncreate—and to make flawed what has been deemed worthy of existence—to unredeem—then the unforgiving act is addressed to oneself and to the cosmos.
