Etymology

The word inexorableness comes from Latin parts in- meaning 'not' and exorare meaning 'to persuade by speaking', and the same root orare is in orator ('speaker'). So, inexorableness is the quality of being 'not persuadable', which is why it means 'impossible to stop' or 'unstoppably determined'.
