irrecoverably
Past any restoration
Irrecoverably means in a way that cannot be recovered, restored, or undone.
What's irrecoverably lost is gone for good: The files were irrecoverably corrupted.
The relationship had been irrecoverably damaged.
The word emphasizes finality—no retrieval, no repair, no return to a former state.
