ever-increasing
UK: ˌevər ɪnˈkriːsɪŋ | US: ˌevər ɪnˈkriːsɪŋ
adj. continuously growing or becoming larger in quantity or degree
The word combines "ever" (Old English ǽfre, meaning "always") with "increase" (from Latin increscere, via Old French encreistre). "Increase" itself breaks into "in-" (intensifying prefix) + "crease" (from Latin crescere, "to grow"). The "-ing" suffix forms the present participle, turning the verb into an adjective. The term vividly depicts something perpetually growing, emphasizing relentless progression.
