Quote:
introuvable adjective impossible to find; "the book is practically introuvable".


Two questions: What is the etymology of this word? Is there another, less obscure word for "unfindable" ?

Edit: Must be somehow connected to (treasure) trove.

Quote:
ORIGIN late Middle English : from Anglo-Norman French tresor trove, literally ‘found treasure.’
