Morphology

unescapably = unescapable (transparent) = un + escape + able + ly

The adverb is formed transparently from the adjective 'unescapable' by adding the suffix '-ly'.

Etymology

Unescapably is built from un- 'not', escape 'get away', and -ably 'able to', so the word gives the clear image of 'no way out'. So unescapably means 'in a way that cannot be avoided'.
