Etymology
'perpetually-thought-of' is a compound word formed from 'perpetually' and 'thought-of'. 'Perpetually' originates from Latin 'perpetuus', meaning 'continuous', and 'thought-of' is derived from the Old English 'þoht', meaning 'consideration'.
'Perpetually' evolved from the Latin 'perpetuus' through Old French 'perpetuel', while 'thought-of' remained largely unchanged from Old English 'þoht'.
Initially, 'perpetually' meant 'continuous', and 'thought-of' meant 'consideration'. Together, they evolved to mean 'constantly considered'.
