I will explain in a separate post why this word seemed appropriate today.

ineluctable (in·e·luc·ta·ble): / in i LUHK tuh buhl /
adjective

(1) incapable of being evaded, changed, resisted, or avoided; inescapable; inevitable

[From Latin ineluctabilis from in- (“not”) + eluctari (“to struggle clear or out of”), from ex- (“out of or from”) + luctari (“to wrestle, struggle”).]

Usage: From the moment you entered these dark woodlands, an ineluctable chain of events was set in motion that would ultimately lead to our encounter.
