Indefatigably: meaning, definitions and examples

The word 'indefatigable' originates from the late 16th century, derived from the Latin 'indefatigabilis', where 'in-' means 'not' and 'defatigabilis' derives from 'defatigare', meaning 'to tire out'. The prefix 'in-' negates the idea of tiring out, thus forming a term that indicates an inability to be weary or exhausted. This term was used in English literature to describe individuals who exhibit unrelenting energy and determination. Over time, the adverb form 'indefatigably' was created to describe actions performed without fatigue. Its usage has remained relatively consistent, reflecting qualities of endurance and perseverance, often in challenging circumstances.
