unchanging
UK: ʌnˈtʃeɪndʒɪŋ | US: ʌnˈtʃeɪndʒɪŋ
adj. remaining the same; not subject to change
adj. constant or persistent over time
The word "unchanging" combines the prefix "un-" (Old English "un-," meaning "not"), the root "change" (from Old French "changier," derived from Latin "cambiare," meaning "to exchange or alter"), and the suffix "-ing" (Old English "-ende," forming present participles or adjectives). The logical progression reflects a negation ("un-") of the concept of alteration ("change"), resulting in a descriptor for something static or perpetual.
