Etymology
'unceasingly-preserved' originates from the combination of 'unceasingly' and 'preserved'. 'Unceasingly' comes from 'un-' meaning 'not' and 'cease' meaning 'to stop', while 'preserved' comes from Latin 'praeservare', where 'prae-' meant 'before' and 'servare' meant 'to keep'.
'Unceasingly' evolved from Middle English 'unceasen', and 'preserved' from Middle English 'preserven', eventually forming the modern English compound 'unceasingly-preserved'.
Initially, 'unceasingly' meant 'without stopping', and 'preserved' meant 'kept safe'. Together, they evolved to mean 'continuously maintained'.
