What is something which 'Defies Definition' Called?

I was thinking about this the other day. We don't seem to have a single word for something which defied definition.

Any ideas?

It's another way of saying, "I lack the ability or to describe it or the intellect to accept it" LOL.

He means, what is the word for "something that defies definition".

Undefinable I'd say.

I like your interest in language mark Smile

I am fascinated by it. I TRY not to read parts of the dictionary almost every night before I go to bed, but I just can't help myself.

Ah sorry, I obviously didn't understand what you meant.

I even missed it, I was thinking along the lines of a contradiction, like we know the definition but, it's different somehow.

Settled now either way.
