inexorably

/ˌɪˈnɛksɝəbɫi/ adv

In an inexorable manner; without the possibility of stopping or prevention.

Word Origin Built from Latin 'in-' (not), 'ex-' (out of), and 'orare' (to pray, plead) — so inexorable literally means 'not able to be prayed out of' or 'not moved by pleading.' The idea: something inexorable cannot be swayed by any entreaty. The same root 'orare' gives us adore (to pray to), adoration, and oration (a formal speech). The breakdown in+ex+or+able+ly shows the layers: not-out-plead-able-ly.
