inescapably

/ˌɪnɪˈskeɪpəbɫi/ adv

In an inescapable manner.

Word Origin From Latin 'ex-' (out) and 'cappa' (cloak). Escape originally meant 'to slip out of one's cloak' — like a fugitive leaving behind a grabbed cloak. Inescapable is 'not able to slip out of the cloak.' The same root gives us escapism and escapology. The breakdown in+escape+able+ly shows the root 'escape' from ex+cappa. A vivid image: you can almost see someone wriggling out of a cape to get away.
