Ineluctable
adjective/in-ee-LUK-tuh-bul/
Impossible to avoid or escape; certain to happen.
In contextThe ineluctable end of the holidays meant packing his school bag again.
Remember it
Ineluctable = in (not) + eluct (struggle out) — you cannot struggle out of it, so it must happen.
Use it well
Use 'ineluctable' for something completely unavoidable; a very formal word for 'inevitable'.
