I think axiom should fit, but according to its official definition, an axiom is a statement that is taken to be true, and as far as I know, a word can’t make an statement by its own.

    Axiomatic is pretty good. Irreducible is another. However, I would argue there are no undescribable words. If that were true, no one could learn certain words in other languages

      I wonder if anyone has ever said something was indescribable, it was just because they weren’t aware of the word needed to describe it.

      Even in a way, saying something was indescribable is doing a lot of heavy lifting by itself, which is weird.
