unarrestable

Meanings

1. 1
   adj

   impossible to stop, check, restrain, or bring to a halt

   Once released, the avalanche seemed unarrestable.

Formed from un- ("not") + arrestable. Arrest entered English through Old French from a Germanic verb meaning "to stop or remain"; the compound therefore describes something that cannot be stopped or checked.
