Etymology

The word 'unfailingly' is derived from the prefix 'un-', which denotes negation, and the word 'failing', which comes from the verb 'fail'. 'Fail' originates from the Latin word 'fallere', meaning 'to deceive or disappoint', which itself traces back to the Proto-Indo-European root 'bhel-', meaning 'to blow, swell'. The combination of 'un-' and 'failing' effectively negates the notion of failure, resulting in a term that conveys consistency and reliability. 'Unfailingly' has been used in English since at least the early 19th century, gradually becoming more common in both written and spoken language. This term is often employed in literary contexts to emphasize the unwavering nature of a person’s actions or qualities.
