Etymology
The word 'continuously-transmitted' is a compound formed from 'continuously' (from Latin 'continuus' meaning 'uninterrupted') and 'transmitted' (from Latin 'transmittere' meaning 'send across').
'Continuously' and 'transmitted' were combined in modern English to describe signals or data sent without interruption.
Initially, 'transmit' meant 'to send across,' and 'continuous' meant 'uninterrupted.' The compound now specifically refers to signals or data sent without interruption.
