Origin of the word perpetually

"Perpetually" comes from the Latin word "perpetuus," meaning "lasting forever." The word was borrowed into English during the Middle Ages. It's composed of the prefix "per," meaning "through" or "thoroughly," and the root "petere," meaning "to seek" or "to strive." This combination suggests a relentless, continuous action that never ends, giving us the meaning of "lasting forever" or "constantly."
