Question

unconscionable When the facts about how the cigarette industry had lied about its practices for decades finally came out, most Americans found the behavior unconscionable. ənˈkɑnʃənəbəl

Accepted Answer

(1) Not guided by any moral sense; unscrupulous. (2) Shockingly excessive, unreasonable, or unfair. Something that can't be done in good conscience is unconscionable, and such acts can range from betraying a confidence to mass murder. For a five-syllable word, unconscionable is actually quite common. This is partly because it isn't always used very seriously; so, for example, a critic is free to call a fat new book “an unconscionable waste of trees.” In law, an unconscionable contract is one that, even though it was signed by both parties, is so ridiculous that a judge will just throw it out
