The word for today is…

inscrutable (adjective):

: not readily investigated, interpreted, or understood

Source : [Merriam -Webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/inscrutable?ref=goodoil.news)

Etymology : Scrutinizing the inscrutable may be futile: even close scrutiny can fail to decipher it. Scrutinizing the scrutable, on the other hand, is likely to yield some understanding. All of these scrut- words have the same Latin root: scrutari, meaning “to search or examine.” While scrutiny, scrutinize, and inscrutable all prove themselves useful in everyday discourse, English speakers don’t tend to call much on scrutable, which functions as a synonym of comprehensible.
