Unflaggingly → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "flagging" (from the verb "flag" meaning to tire or weaken, which comes from Old Norse "flaka" meaning to droop or to become weak) and the suffix "-ly" (meaning in a manner of). The word "unflaggingly" means in a manner that does not tire or weaken, showing persistent effort.

Memory Tip
