Ceaselessly

/ˈsiːsləsli/ adverb

Definition

In a way that never stops or pauses; continuously and without interruption.

Etymology

From 'cease' (to stop, from Latin 'cessare') plus '-less' (without) plus '-ly' (adverb marker), literally meaning 'without stopping, in a stopping-less manner.'

Kelly Says

This word is built from three ancient pieces—Latin 'cessare,' Old English 'less,' and Latin 'ly'—showing how English creates new words by stacking historical layers on each other.
