I'm not a linguistic expert but I can speak, read and write the Inuit language and offer my personal understanding:
"ayornamat" would be written in the current Nunavut standard Inuit writing system as: ajurnarmat. There are variant ways to spell this in other Inuit dialects such as "ajurnamat" or "ajunnamat" in Nunavik (Northern Quebec) and Nunatsiavut (Northern Labrador) or "ayurnarmat" in Western Nunavut.
Simply put, it is an expression used in a state of helplessness, that there is no other way things can or could have gone the way they went.
If you break down the "word," basically it would be:
"ajur-" means: unable, incapable, helpless, incompetent
"-nar-": it makes it
"-mat": since/because
