continuing
Not yet stopped
Continuing describes something that persists or goes on without stopping: continuing education, continuing coverage of the crisis.
It emphasizes duration and ongoingness rather than completion.
A continuing relationship remains active; a continuing problem hasn't been resolved.
The word often appears in formal or institutional contexts: continuing medical education, continuing resolution.
