Etymology of INCESSANTS

The word "incessants" is derived from the root word "incessant", which comes from the Latin word "incessāns" (or "incessant-"), which is the present participle of the verb "incessāre". "Incessāre" is formed by combining the prefix "in-" (meaning "not" or "without") with the verb "cessāre" (meaning "to stop" or "to cease"). Therefore, "incessant" originally meant "not stopping" or "unending". The addition of the plural suffix "-s" transforms "incessant" into "incessants", referring to multiple things that are unending.
