You are unquestionably right, but I hope you can also understand our circumstances.
When they said 'you are unquestionably right,' it rubbed me the wrong way a little.
Kanji 無 nothingness, none, ain't 理 logic, arrangement, reason 御 honorable, manipulate, govern 尤 reasonable, just, natural Related words ごもっとも ごもっとも simply means 'you are right' or 'quite so,' without the added nuance of 'unreasonable' or 'forceful' that ご無理ごもっとも carries.
無む 理り 無理 means 'unreasonable' or 'impossible.' In ご無理ごもっとも, it modifies ごもっとも to suggest that the other person's correctness is accompanied by unreasonableness.
Written forms ご 無む 理り ごもっとも
Standard mixed kanji-kana spelling; the most common written form.
御ご 無む 理り 御ご 尤もっと も
Full kanji spelling; rarely used and may appear old-fashioned or overly formal.
Etymology A compound of ご無理 (honorific prefix + 'unreasonable') and ごもっとも (honorific prefix + 'most reasonable' or 'you are right'). The phrase literally acknowledges that the other person is both unreasonable and correct, highlighting the tension between the two.
