Ineluctable - a podcast by Word of the Day

Ineluctable is an adjective that means not to be avoided or resisted.

The Latin word luctari (LUKE tar ay) means to struggle. From this root comes ineluctable, which means something you can’t struggle free from. 

I was hoping I could get by without having to face Harvey at the office this week. I soon realized that when Harvey is a bad mood, dealing with him is ineluctable.
