endlessly

/ˈɛndɫəsɫi/ adv B2 ✓

In an endless manner; continuously without limit.

Word Origin Endless comes from Old English endeleas, literally 'without end' — the -less suffix is from a Germanic word meaning 'loose, free from'. Add -ly and you get endlessly, 'in a manner free from an end'. That same -less appears in countless, fearless, and reckless, all describing things you're free from.
