incurably
Without possible remedy
Incurably means in a way that cannot be cured or corrected.
It typically modifies adjectives describing conditions or traits: incurably ill, incurably optimistic, incurably romantic.
The word often carries a tone of resigned acceptance—the condition is permanent, for better or worse.
