persisting

/pɝˈsɪstɪŋ/ verb

present participle and gerund of persist

Word Origin Persisting comes from Latin per- 'through' and sistere 'to stand' — literally 'standing through' something, standing firm despite obstacles. The root sistere (from PIE *sta- 'to stand') gives us insist (stand on), consist (stand together), resist (stand back), and exist (stand out). So persisting is standing your ground all the way through.
