unescapable

Cannot be dodged

Unescapable means impossible to escape or avoid—a variant of inescapable.

Both forms carry the same meaning, though inescapable is more common: an unescapable conclusion, the unescapable reality of aging.

The word emphasizes that something cannot be evaded no matter what one does.
