I've been feeling really overwhelmed with work lately.

I totally get that; the unremitting deadlines can be exhausting.

Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Unremitting → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "remittere" (from Latin, meaning to send back or release) and "-ing" (a suffix used to form present participles). The word "unremitting" means not sending back or ceasing, indicating something that is constant and unrelenting.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') letting go or 'sending back' ('remittere') — that's why unremitting means something that does not stop or relent.
