inescapability
Cannot be avoided
Inescapability is the quality of being impossible to avoid or get away from.
The word emphasizes that something cannot be evaded no matter what one does: the inescapability of death, the inescapability of our past decisions.
It often carries a sense of grim acceptance—acknowledging what must be faced.
