From my two years of studying Latin I know that evitandum is second declension neuter gender, being a gerund. In Latin the word can also be an adjective, in which case it is second declension and inflected for all genders.

Cf. the English word "inevitable" = unavoidable.

Ok, that's just a made-up mish-mash of English and Latin.
