Morphology

unwaning = waning (transparent) = un + wane + ing

Formed by adding the negating prefix 'un-' to the adjective 'waning', so the meaning 'not decreasing' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Unwaning is made of un- meaning 'not' and waning, from 'wane' which means 'to get smaller', as in a 'waning moon'. So, unwaning means 'not getting smaller' and is easy to remember as something that stays strong or stays the same over time.
