unshrinking

/ʌnʃɹˈɪŋkɪŋ/ adj

Not shrinking.

Word Origin Unshrinking means not drawing back or withering. Shrink comes from Old English scrincan 'to wither, shrivel up', from Proto-Germanic *skrinkanan. The un- prefix negates it, so unshrinking is steadfast, not recoiling. The same root gives us shrinkage and preshrunk.
