We consider many "ineffable" things frequently. Just because we can express a concept in words. does not mean we can not think of it. It isd derived from the Latin ineffabilis, meaning “unutterable,”
Ineffability is concerned with ideas that cannot or should not be expressed in spoken words (or language in general)
How about Infinity?... Modern mathematics uses the general concept of infinity in the solution of many practical and theoretical problems, such as in calculus and set theory, and the idea also is used in physics and the other sciences.
In mathematics, "infinity" is often treated as a number (i.e., it counts or measures things: "an infinite number of terms") but it is not the same sort of number as either a natural or a real number.
Mathematics in general may convey meanings that words can not
Hows about zero?
