perennially
Always, without interruption
Perennially means in a way that continues year after year or persists indefinitely.
It derives from the botanical sense of perennial plants that live for multiple growing seasons, but the adverb applies broadly to anything enduring or recurring: perennially popular, perennially underfunded.
Something perennially true or perennially relevant remains so across time rather than fading.
The word often carries a note of weariness when describing persistent problems: The team is perennially in last place.
