perpetually
UK: pəˈpetʃuəli | US: pərˈpetʃuəli
adv. in a way that continues indefinitely; without interruption
adv. in a manner that seems endless or unchanging
The word "perpetually" derives from the Latin perpetuus ("continuous, unbroken"), formed from per- ("through") + petere ("to seek, aim"). The root perpetual entered Middle English via Old French, retaining its sense of enduring continuity. The suffix -ly transforms it into an adverb, emphasizing the timeless or unceasing nature of an action. The morphemes logically combine to reflect the concept of something persisting "through all time."
The waterfall flows perpetually, never drying up.

The machine hummed perpetually in the background.
His curiosity kept him perpetually engaged in learning.
The stars shine perpetually, even when unseen by human eyes.
