incessant
adjective
Definition: uninterrupted and continuous
Synonyms: constant, unending, ceaseless, continuous, uninterrupted, perpetual
Antonyms: temporary, periodic
Tips: Incessant literally means "not stopping." It comes from the Latin cessare, "to stop," with the prefix in-, "not." Something incessant feels like it's never-ending and is usually bothersome, like "incessant noise."
