irrevocably

/ˌɪˈɹɛvəkəbɫi/, /ˌɪˌɹɛˈvoʊkəbɫi/ adv

In an irrevocable manner; in a manner which prevents the ability to be reverted, repealed, or undone.

Word Origin From Latin vocare 'to call' — with the prefix ir- (not) and re- (back), so irrevocably means 'not able to be called back.' The breakdown ir+re+voc+able+ly makes it clear: you can't call it back, it's final. The same root vocare gives us voice, vocal, advocate (call to aid), evoke (call out), and provoke (call forth).
