unbelievable
(once / 2265 pages)
adj

The word unbelievable describes something that is beyond understanding, like the idea, until the Middle Ages, that the earth might actually be round.
Unbelievable refers to something that seems incredible (Did you hear the story about the guy who was rescued after being stranded at sea for 6 months on a sailboat?), but it can also refer to something that's so unlikely, so improbable, that you're probably not going to be convinced by it (Hey, did you hear the story about the guy who was rescued after being stranded at sea for 6 months with only a log to keep him afloat?).
