constantemente

/konsˌtanteˈmente/ · B1 · adv

constantly

⏰ constante + -mente = constant + -ly, so constantly

Constante comes from Latin constare, to stand firm (con- together + stare to stand). The Spanish ending -mente works like English -ly and comes from Latin mente, with a mind. So the word means in a steady way.
