Morphology
inevitableness = inevitable (transparent) = inevitable + ness
The noun is a straightforward '-ness' nominalization of the adjective 'inevitable', meaning 'the quality of being inevitable'.
Etymology
Inevitableness comes from the parts in- 'not' and the same root as English avoid 'to avoid', with the ending -ness which makes a noun 'a state'. So it literally means 'the state of not being able to be avoided', which is why it means the state or quality of something you cannot avoid.
