Etymology
The word 'tirelessly' is derived from the word 'tireless', which dates back to the early 17th century. The base word 'tire' originally meant 'to become weary', and the addition of the suffix '-less' created the opposite meaning, resulting in 'tireless'. Over time, the adverb 'tirelessly' was formed to describe actions performed without becoming tired or stopping. The term has since become widely used in English to emphasize hard work, persistence, and continuous effort.
See also: tired, tireless, tires, tiresome, tiresomely, tiring, untiring.
