continuo
/konˈtinwo/ · B1 · adj
continual, constant
🔗 continuo = continue + -o: the thing that keeps continuing, no breaks
From Latin continuus, 'hanging together', from continere (con- together + tenere hold). English continuous shares the root. Stress falls on -ti-: kon-TEE-nwo. Don't confuse it with continúo, 'I continue', which is stressed on the ú.
