Inscrutable describes something that is difficult or impossible to understand, interpret, or read.[1][2][3][4] It refers to people, expressions, or situations that offer no clear signals or reveal little about their true meaning or intention. A person with an inscrutable face, a complex text full of hidden layers, or a sudden decision with no explanation all reflect this quality. The term suggests a barrier to insight, leaving others puzzled or uncertain.
When someone or something is inscrutable, it resists analysis or emotional reading. A diplomat may remain inscrutable during tense negotiations, a character in a novel might be inscrutable to maintain mystery, and a spiritual symbol could be seen as inscrutable due to its depth and ambiguity. Whether by design or by nature, inscrutability keeps meaning hidden, inviting curiosity while withholding clarity.
