Etymology: "Unbeatably" is simply "unbeatable" with the adverbial ending "-ly" added, and it follows the usual English pattern for turning an adjective into an adverb. The core word is built from the prefix "un-", meaning "not," and "beatable," meaning "able to be beaten," itself formed from the verb "beat" with the suffix "-able." So the sense of the whole is "in a way that cannot be beaten," which is exactly how it is used: a team, a product, or a strategy that wins so consistently that no rival can overturn it. Because each part is transparent, the word needs little explanation. Its meaning follows directly from its parts, and no older sense has been lost or reversed along the way.
