inexorably
In relentless fashion
Inexorably means in a way that cannot be stopped, persuaded, or turned aside.
What proceeds inexorably continues relentlessly despite any attempt to prevent or slow it: The glacier inexorably advanced, Time moves inexorably forward.
The word suggests both unstoppable force and grim inevitability—something inexorable offers no appeal and accepts no negotiation.
