Root Explanation

Unwaning → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "waning" (from Old English "wanian", meaning to decrease or diminish). The word "unwaning" means not diminishing or decreasing, often used to describe something that remains constant or unchanging.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') decreasing ('waning') — that's why unwaning means something that does not diminish.
