unavoidably

/ˌənəˈvɔɪdəbɫi/ adv

In an unavoidable manner.

Word Origin Avoid comes from Latin 'ex-' (out) and 'vacuus' (empty) — literally 'to empty out.' The idea: when you avoid something, you clear a space around it, you leave it empty. So 'unavoidable' means you can't empty it out, you can't escape it. The same root 'vacuus' gives us 'vacuum' and 'vacant', while 'devoid' means 'completely emptied of.'

adv In an unavoidable manner.

The meeting was unavoidably postponed due to the sudden blizzard.
