Morphology

unceasingly = unceasing (transparent) = un + cease + ing + ly

Forming the adverb by adding the productive suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'unceasing' yields a straightforward meaning ('in a not-stopping manner').

Etymology

The word unceasingly comes from the negative un- and the verb cease, which means 'to stop', so unceasingly means 'not stopping' or 'continuously'.
