Word origin
The term 'unremitting' originates from the early 19th century, combining the prefix 'un-' with 'remitting.' The word 'remitting' comes from the Latin 'remittere,' meaning 'to send back' or 'to let go.' Over time, in its current form, 'unremitting' evolved to convey the notion of something that does not cease or relent. It initially captured the essence of perpetual motion or action, emphasizing a state of unwavering consistency. As usage expanded, it found its place in various contexts, especially in literature and rhetoric, to describe unyielding forces or steadfast attitudes.
