Morphology
inescapably = inescapable (transparent) = in + escape + able + ly
The adverb is formed regularly from the adjective 'inescapable' with '-ly', and the meaning is directly predictable.
Etymology
Inescapably begins with in- ('not') and the familiar word escape ('to get away'), with -able and -ly to make it an adverb. So, inescapably means 'not able to get away', which is why we use it to say something happens 'unavoidably'.
