Root Explanation

Unending → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "ending" (from Old English "endian", meaning to come to a conclusion or finish). The word "unending" means not coming to a conclusion or having no end.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having a 'finish' ('ending') — that's why unending means something that does not finish.
