Root Explanation

Ceaseless → It is formed from "cease" (from Old French *ceser*, meaning to stop or come to an end) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "ceaseless" means without stopping or never coming to an end.

Memory Tip

Think of something that never 'stops' ('cease') and is 'without' ('-less') any breaks — that's what ceaseless means.
