Inexorably is the adverb form of inexorable(adjective) which is from the Latin inexorabilis, which means 'that which cannot exhorted.' (Latin exora, to entreat)

To exhort is to entreat, to urge, to advise strongly or earnestly.

So inexorably means relentlessly, something which cannot be stopped by persuasion, something which is immovable by entreaty, nor, by inference, by any other means.

Examples:

  • 'time marches on inexorably'
  • 'inexorable justice'
  • 'inexorable truth'
  • The deadly lava flows from the erupting volcano moved rapidly and inexorably toward the hillside farm houses and the nearby villages in the valleys below.

Inexorably can also be used in a negative sense, e.g. cruelly, without any pity or mercy.
