Word origin

The word 'evitable' is derived from the Latin word 'evitabilis', which means 'avoidable'. The concept of inevitability has been explored in philosophy and literature, with the idea that some events are predetermined and cannot be avoided. The use of 'evitable' in modern English reflects the idea that certain outcomes are indeed avoidable, but may still occur due to various factors.
