Word origin

The word 'inexorable' originated from the Latin word 'inexorabilis', which means 'unyielding' or 'relentless'. It entered the English language in the late 16th century. The prefix 'in-' signifies 'not' or 'opposite of', while 'exorabilis' comes from 'exorare', meaning 'to entreat'. Therefore, 'inexorable' conveys the idea of something that cannot be persuaded or changed, that is relentless and inevitable.
