- 1無法估量的；難以估計的（多指極大，不是「估不出所以沒價值」）
If something is inestimable, it is too much or too great to be calculated — you cannot put a real number on it. The usual picture is value or importance: help of inestimable value, an inestimable gift. It can also be harm: inestimable damage, inestimable loss. It is a formal, slightly old-fashioned word; in everyday talk people say you cannot measure it, or it's beyond counting. Though actually, speakers almost always mean 'huge' rather than 'we literally tried to count and failed.' It praises or stresses size; it is not a shrug that says 'unknown, so never mind.'
