Morphology
inevitability = inevitable (semi-transparent) = in + evit + able + ity
This is a regular noun formation from the adjective 'inevitable', and the meaning 'state or quality of being inevitable' is directly predictable.
Etymology
Inevitability comes from Latin parts in- 'not' and evitare 'to avoid', and it shares the same root as the everyday word avoid. So inevitability is the quality of being 'not avoidable' — something certain to happen.
