inevitable

/inebiˈtable/ · B1 · adj

inevitable, inescapable, unavoidable (unable to be avoided)

⏳ in- (not) + evitar (to avoid) + -able = not avoidable

Spanish evitar means to avoid, and evitable means avoidable. Add the negative prefix in- and you get inevitable: it cannot be avoided. It is spelled the same as the English word, but in Spanish it is stressed on -ta-: i-ne-bi-TA-ble.
