Surface Forms

evermore positive

Morphology

evermore = ever + more (semi-transparent) = ever + more

Formed from the clear components 'ever' + 'more', but the fused single-word form is literary/archaic and may not be fully productive for learners.

Etymology

Evermore is made from the two simple parts ever ('always') and more ('longer' or 'further'). So it gives the idea of 'always' or 'forever' and is often used in poems to mean 'for all future time'.
