unrelentingly
意味: Without any pause, respite, or diminution in force; continuing with unwavering severity or persistence.
Unrelentingly is the negative-prefix variant of 'relentlessly' and often carries a slightly harsher edge. It tends to describe conditions, pressures, or hostile forces rather than positive endeavours. You might describe unrelentingly bleak weather, unrelentingly hostile questioning, or unrelentingly high standards. It is more literary than its cousin and appears more frequently in reviews and feature writing.
