Morphology

perseveringly = persevering (transparent) = persevere + ing + ly

Formed regularly by adding '-ly' to the participial adjective 'persevering', giving 'in a persevering manner', which is directly derivable.

Etymology

Perseveringly comes from Latin words per- ('thoroughly') and severus ('serious') and is related to the English word severe. A helpful way to remember it is to imagine someone who is 'thoroughly serious' and keeps working no matter what. That's why to act perseveringly is to keep trying steadily and not give up.
