interminably
Going on forever
Interminably means endlessly or for what feels like an unbearably long time.
The word emphasizes tedium more than actual duration—a meeting that goes on interminably might last two hours, but it *feels* eternal: He droned on interminably about quarterly projections.
Something interminable resists natural stopping points.
