Etymology

The word 'unfaltering' is derived from the prefix 'un-', meaning 'not', and 'falter', which comes from Middle English 'falteren', meaning 'to stumble or hesitate'. 'Falter' itself originates from Germanic roots and is connected to the concept of wavering or losing strength. The combination implies a refusal to stumble or hesitate, thus conveying a sense of strength and resolve. The term has been in use since the early 19th century, often used to describe individuals or spirits that remain firm in their commitments and beliefs, regardless of difficulties faced.
