Root Explanation
Continued → It is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "tenere" (meaning to hold). The word "continued" means to hold together or persist in an action without interruption.
Memory Tip
Think of holding something 'together' ('con-') and 'keeping it' ('tenere') without stopping — that's why continued means to keep going.
