continuative
Indicates sustained action
Continuative describes something that expresses or causes continuation.
In grammar, a continuative word or construction signals that an action or state persists or that discourse is ongoing—conjunctions like "and" or "moreover" serve continuative functions.
More broadly, anything that extends or prolongs rather than terminates may be called continuative: The treatment had a continuative effect on her recovery.
