    • Usage notes

    Usage varies between infeasible', (m), and “not feasible” – all are synonymous, but usage varies regionally and over time, and unfamiliar usage is often jarring or sounds wrong. Today '''infeasible''' is somewhat more common, in both American and British usage, though traditionally (term) was more common, being surpassed by '''infeasible''' in the late 1970s (in both America and Britain). Of these, '''infeasible is etymologically, pure – formed of French/Latin roots – and cognate to French (m), while (term) is hybrid, combining Germanic (m) with Latinate (m).
