Etymology

The word 'unwaveringly' is derived from the verb 'waver,' which originated from Middle English 'waveren,' meaning 'to be indecisive or fluctuate.' The prefix 'un-' signifies 'not,' so 'unwaveringly' means 'in a manner that does not fluctuate or change.' This adverb emphasizes consistency and determination in behavior or attitude.
