Both inevitable and ineluctable are words in the dictionary that mean something is impossible to avoid.
So do we use them in a same or different context?

Best Answer
The biggest differences are frequency and register:
Prioritization is very important in language learning. Inevitable is a much more important word for most learners to know. There are native speakers who don't know what ineluctable means.
In terms of meaning, there's a lot of overlap, and I think you could often use either word without a change in meaning. But I think ineluctable is often closer in meaning to inescapable, and tends to be used figuratively for inescapable conclusions, facts we can't avoid acknowledging, and so forth.
