The word for today is…

interminable (adjective): 

 : having or seeming to have no end, especially : wearisomely protracted 

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

Etymology : This word was borrowed into English in the 15th century, from a Latin word combining the prefix in- ("not") and the verb terminare, meaning "to terminate" or "to limit." Interminable describes not only something without an actual end (or no end in sight, such as "interminable traffic"), but also events, such as tedious lectures, that drag on in such a way that they give no clear indication of ever wrapping up. Some relatives of interminable in English include terminate, determine, terminal, and exterminate.
