constantly

/ˈkɑnstəntɫi/ adv B1 ✓

In a constant manner; occurring continuously; persistently.

Word Origin From Latin constantem 'standing firm, stable,' from con- 'together' and stare 'to stand' — so constantly means 'in a standing-together way,' unwavering. The root stare is everywhere: stand, state, station, statue, status, and even stay. The PIE root *sta- meant 'to stand,' and constantly is about something that stands firm without changing.
