Inexorably

/ɪnˈɛksərəbli/ adverb

Definition

In a way that cannot be stopped or changed; happening inevitably and relentlessly.

Etymology

From Latin 'inexorabilis,' where 'in-' means 'not' and 'exorabilis' comes from 'exorare' meaning 'to move by entreaty.' The suffix '-ably' makes it an adverb form.

This word captures the feeling of time itself—nothing can stop it, no amount of begging will slow it down. It's the word physicists use when talking about entropy!
