Morphology
unintermitted = intermitted (transparent) = un + intermit + ed
Formed by negation prefix 'un-' plus the participial adjective 'intermitted', so the meaning is a direct negation: 'not interrupted'.
Etymology
The word unintermitted comes from un- meaning 'not' and intermit meaning 'to stop for a time', as in interrupt or intermission. So unintermitted means 'not stopped' or continuous, something that goes on without a break.
