unending
UK: ʌnˈɛndɪŋ | US: ʌnˈɛndɪŋ
adj. continuing without end; eternal or perpetual
adj. seemingly limitless or incessant
The word "unending" is formed by combining the prefix "un-" (Old English "un-," meaning "not") with the root "end" (Old English "endian," meaning "to terminate") and the suffix "-ing" (Old English "-ende," forming present participles or adjectives). The prefix negates the root, creating a sense of boundlessness. Over time, "unending" evolved to describe anything perpetual or ceaseless, emphasizing continuity.
