Continuing without stopping or pausing; happening constantly and never ending.
From 'cease' (stop), derived from Latin 'cessare,' with the suffix '-less' meaning without. It literally means 'without ceasing' or 'unable to cease.'
The '-less' suffix is so powerful that English speakers automatically understand 'ceaseless' as 'endless' even if they've never heard the word—we can generate and understand thousands of new adjectives this way, which is why English feels so flexible and generative compared to languages with stricter rules.
