Understanding Incommunicado: Definition and Examples

Incommunicado is a word that refers to a situation where someone is unable to communicate with others, either because they are physically isolated or because they are being prevented from doing so.

For example, if a person is being held captive and is not allowed to speak to anyone outside of their captors, they would be considered incommunicado. Similarly, if a person is in a remote location with no access to communication technology, such as a cell phone or internet, they would also be considered incommunicado.

Incommunicado can also be used to describe a situation where someone is unable to communicate effectively, perhaps because they do not speak the same language or have a disability that makes communication difficult. In this sense, the word is often used to describe a sense of isolation or disconnection from others.
