CONTINUED Meaning and Definition

1. The term "continued" is an adjective derived from the verb "continue," often used to describe something that persists or carries on without interruption. It is commonly employed to express the act of extending or prolonging an action, process, or state beyond its initial stage or timeframe. In various contexts, "continued" points to the continuation or sustained existence of a particular circumstance, behavior, or trend.

   In reference to an activity or endeavor, "continued" illustrates the act of persevering or persisting with something over a period of time, without a pause or interruption. It suggests a determination to carry on or endure, despite obstacles or challenges that may arise. For example, in the context of education, it might imply ongoing enrollment, indicating that a student is registered for consecutive terms without a gap.

   Moreover, "continued" can also indicate the sustained presence or longevity of an entity or condition. It denotes that a particular thing, such as a habit or relationship, has endured over time and remains in existence. This usage implies an ongoing state that has not been disrupted or terminated. For instance, when referring to an unbroken sequence of years, "continued" would emphasize the uninterrupted succession of those years.

   Overall, "continued" characterizes the continuous, unbroken, and ongoing nature of a process, state, action, or existence, thereby underscoring persistence, longevity, and a lack of interruption.

2. Continuous, without intermission, noting especially a more or less protracted fever without apyretic intervals; a typhoid fever, for example, as contrasted with a succession of malarial paroxysms.

Etymology of CONTINUED

The word continued comes from the Latin word continuare, which means to join together or to make continuous.

Over time, the word continuare evolved into the Old French word continuer, and eventually into the modern English word continued.
