inexorablemente

inexorably

adverb een-eks-oh-RAHB-leh-men-teh Rare

Origin: From Latin inexorabilis, 'that cannot be moved by entreaty'.

Usage Note

Inexorablemente means in a way that cannot be stopped, altered, or appealed — relentlessly and unavoidably. It is a formal, literary adverb found in journalism and essay prose: el tiempo avanza inexorablemente (time advances inexorably). Its length makes it feel heavy in speech; writers who need a shorter option sometimes use inevitablemente instead, though the two are not exact synonyms.

Examples

"El tiempo avanza inexorablemente."

Natural Translation

Time advances inexorably.
