resistless
Impossible to oppose
Resistless is a literary or archaic adjective meaning unable to be resisted or withstood.
Something resistless overwhelms all opposition through sheer force or compelling power: the resistless advance of the glacier, a resistless impulse to confess.
The word can also describe someone who lacks the power to resist, though this sense is rarer.
In modern usage, irresistible has largely replaced resistless, which now appears mainly in poetry or deliberately elevated prose.
