Etymology
The word 'unceasingly' is derived from the verb 'cease', which comes from the Old French word 'cesser', ultimately from the Latin 'cessare' meaning 'to delay, hesitate, cease'. The prefix 'un-' is added to 'ceasing' to indicate the negation of stopping or pausing. The adverb 'unceasingly' has been used in English since the 16th century to describe actions or processes that continue without interruption.
