ceaseless

Without any pause

Ceaseless means without stopping or pause—continuous and unending.

The word emphasizes relentless persistence: the ceaseless roar of traffic, ceaseless efforts to find a cure.

It carries a sense of weariness or inevitability that endless or continuous might not: Her ceaseless complaints wore everyone down.
