AaSpelling

in·ex·o·ra·ble

With -orable (not 'inexorible' or 'inexhorable'); from the Latin exorare, to pray successfully, so inexorable means 'not to be prayed out of it'.

अंत में -orable ('inexorible' या 'inexhorable' गलत है); Latin exorare, सफलतापूर्वक प्रार्थना करना, से, इसलिए inexorable का अर्थ 'जिसे प्रार्थना से न टाला जा सके' है।

“Collocations, idioms and sayings
