'continuously-shown' originates from the combination of 'continuous' and 'shown', where 'continuous' comes from Latin 'continuus', meaning 'uninterrupted', and 'shown' is the past participle of 'show', from Old English 'sceawian', meaning 'to look at'.

'Continuously-shown' combines the modern English words 'continuous' and 'shown', reflecting the idea of something being displayed without breaks.

Initially, 'continuous' meant 'uninterrupted', and 'shown' meant 'displayed'. Together, they convey the idea of something being displayed without interruption.
