TEM8 GRE
1. e- / ex- "out" + luct- "struggle, wrestle" => eluct- "struggle out".
2. in- "not, opposite of" + eluct- "struggle out".
3. => can't struggle out, unavoidable, inevitable, not to be escaped by struggling.
4. in- + eluct- ( elude 的过去分词变体的词根、词干) + -able.
ineluctable 无可避免的in-,不，非，e-,向外，-luct,弯，转，扭打，词源同leg,reluctant.即打不出来的，引申词义无可避免的。
