Unavoidable. ''The tragedy was devitable.''

I looked this up on the One Look doohickey on the alphadictionary homepage and got links to 9 sites. Of them, 3 were lies, but 6 actually had a definition. They all agree that devitable means avoidable, not un.

In a separate source, not the Internot, I did find devitatio, which means an escape, shunning, eschewing, or avoiding. It doesn't show up in One Look at all.
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.
